Homemade Air Fryer Beef Empanadas are a healthier twist on the classic Latin American pastry. These empanadas feature a flaky, golden crust cooked with little to no oil, thanks to the air fryer, reducing unnecessary fats while maintaining delicious crispiness. The filling is a savory blend of lean ground beef, onions, garlic, and traditional spices such as cumin and paprika, providing a protein-packed and flavorful core. Often inspired by Argentine or Cuban cuisine, these empanadas can also include nutrient-rich add-ins like diced vegetables or black beans for added fiber and vitamins. While the air frying method cuts down on calories compared to deep frying, the crust is still dough-based and may contain refined flour, so portion control is key. Enjoy them as a balanced snack or pair with a fresh side salad for a wholesome meal that celebrates the rich flavors of Latin culinary traditions.
