How do you thaw frozen empanadas?
How do you defrost empanadas? To thaw, remove them from the freezer about 15 minutes before you are ready to stuff them, remove them from the package and separate them. Empanada dough is sticky, so place the thawing shells on parchment paper (or the sheets of paper that separate them inside the package).
Is it better to bake or fry empanadas?
Baked empanadas are easier because you can bake a whole ton at once and certainly lighter without all that deep fried goodness but they don’t have quite the same flavor as the fried version. So I leave it up to you! Don’t skip the egg wash if baking because it is what helps give the empanadas their color!
