I entertain a lot, so I appreciate make-ahead recipes. These air-fryer empanadas are easy and delicious. I recommend making a few extra batches

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 1 hour Cook: 10 min./batch
YIELD: about 1-1/2 dozen.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 log (4 ounces) fresh goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
  • Pastry for a single-crust pie or refrigerated pie crust

Instructions

  • 1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, 4-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Remove from heat. Let cool slightly. Gently stir in goat cheese and tomatoes.
  • 2. Preheat air fryer to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. round biscuit cutter. Place 1 heaping teaspoon filling on 1 side of each circle. Brush edges of pastry with water; fold circles in half. With a fork, press edges to seal.
  • 3. In batches, arrange empanadas in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Turn; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes longer.
