These empanadas aren’t fully cooked, so for the best results:

• Defrost them in the fridge for about 5 hours before baking.
• Follow the appropriate cooking instructions below.

For Conventional Ovens with Visible Temperature Settings:

1. Preheat the oven to 250°C (482°F).

2. Place the empanadas in the oven and reduce the temperature to 220°C (428°F).

3.Bake for approximately 8 minutes, keeping an eye on the crust’s colour.

For Ovens Without Visible Temperature Settings:

1. Preheat the oven on its highest setting for 15 minutes with the door closed.

2. Place the frozen empanadas in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes until the crust is golden.

Yes! To deep fry:

• Heat oil to 190°C (374°F).
• Fry the empanadas for about 7 minutes or until golden.

Absolutely!

• Spacing: Leave at least two fingers’ width between empanadas to ensure even heat circulation.
  
• Dry Heat: If your oven has a humidity setting, disable it and bake using dry heat.

• Frozen Empanadas: Once a box is opened, handle them carefully to avoid breakage. When fewer than 3 remain, transfer them to a bag for better protection, especially in vertical freezers.

• From Defrosted: Allow the empanadas to thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat in a medium oven at 180°C (356°F) for 2 minutes.
  
• From Frozen: Heat in the oven at 160-170°C (320-338°F) for 4-5 minutes to avoid overcooking.

Absolutely! Place your empanadas in the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 200ºC:

• 1 to 2 empanadas: Heat for 6 minutes.
• 3 to 4 empanadas: Heat for 7 minutes.
• 5 to 6 empanadas: Heat for 8 minutes.

We don’t recommend it. Microwaving can affect their texture and quality, so it’s best to avoid this method.

For any cooking method, monitor closely to achieve the best texture and flavour. Let them rest for 1 minute, and enjoy your Sabrosa Empanadas!
