Craving a Hot Pocket with a Crispy Twist? Try the Air Fryer Method!

Love Hot Pockets but want a crispier crust that rivals the oven? The air fryer comes to the rescue! This recipe lets you enjoy your favorite Pepperoni Pizza Hot Pockets with a delightful golden brown crust, all in a fraction of the time it takes for a conventional oven.

Ready to try it? Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Frozen Hot Pockets Pepperoni Pizza (quantity of your choice)
  • Air Fryer

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C). This ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
  2. Place the frozen Hot Pockets in the air fryer basket. Leave space between them for proper air circulation.
  3. Cook for 11-13 minutes for a single Hot Pocket, or 16-18 minutes for two. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
  4. Monitor the Hot Pockets during cooking. You don’t need to flip them, but keep an eye on them to ensure they aren’t over browning.
  5. Once golden brown and cooked through, remove the Hot Pockets from the air fryer. Let them cool for a few minutes before digging in, as the filling will be very hot.

FAQs:

Can I cook other varieties of Hot Pockets in the air fryer? Absolutely! This method works well for any type of frozen Hot Pocket.

Do I need to use the crisper sleeve that comes with Hot Pockets? No, the air fryer will crisp up the crust perfectly on its own.

How can I tell if my Hot Pocket is cooked through? The best indicator is a golden brown crust. You can also carefully insert a toothpick into the center of the pocket. If it comes out hot but not doughy, it’s good to go!

Can I reheat leftover Hot Pockets in the air fryer? Yes! Simply preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 3-4 minutes for refrigerated Hot Pockets, or 10-12 minutes for frozen ones.

Enjoy your delicious and crispy Hot Pockets made in the air fryer!
