Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Hot Pockets (any variety)
  • Optional: Dipping sauce (ketchup, ranch, etc.)
  • Optional: Parsley for garnish
  • Optional: Extra cheese for topping
  • Optional: Oil spray for crispiness
  • Optional: Garlic powder for flavor

Method
 

  1. Unwrap your Hot Pockets! Remove ALL plastic and discard the cardboard crisping sleeve.
  2. Place the unwrapped Hot Pockets directly into your air fryer basket, ensuring space for air circulation.
  3. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10-11 minutes. Lightly coat with oil spray before frying if using.
  4. Halfway through the cooking time, carefully flip the Hot Pockets to ensure even crisping.
  5. Check for a golden-brown crust and bubbly filling. Add optional garlic powder or extra cheese in the last minute of cooking.
  6. Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

– Always remove the cardboard crisping sleeve; it’s not meant for the air fryer.
– Ensure there’s enough space between the Hot Pockets for optimal air circulation.
– Adjust cooking time slightly based on your specific air fryer model.
