      My Top Tips for Making Perfect Empanadas<\/h2>

      Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to keep the empanadas from sticking.<\/p>

      Make sure your oven is fully preheated before popping them in—this guarantees they bake up quickly and evenly.<\/p>

      Feel free to make them in different sizes! Go bite-sized for appetizers or make larger ones for a satisfying quick meal.<\/p>

      Crimp and seal the edges tightly so that delicious filling stays inside where it belongs while baking.<\/p>

      Bake until they’re beautifully golden brown and crispy. Just keep an eye on them toward the end so they don’t stay in too long and dry out!<\/p>

      Can You Make Empanadas Ahead of Time?<\/h2>

      Yes! Empanadas are absolute meal-prep champions. You can easily assemble them ahead of time, keep them in the fridge, or pop them in the freezer to enjoy later.<\/p>

      Once you’ve assembled your empanadas (before baking!), you can store them right in the fridge.<\/p>

      Just place them on a baking sheet or platter lined with parchment paper, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and slide them into the fridge.<\/p>

      They’ll stay fresh and ready to bake for up to 24 hours.<\/p>

      Want to save them for a quick weeknight dinner down the road? You can totally freeze them<\/strong>!<\/p>

      Arrange your unbaked empanadas on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching.<\/p>

      Pop the tray into the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours, just until they’re flash-frozen solid.<\/p>

      Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. This keeps them from sticking together in a clump!<\/p>

      When you’re ready to bake your frozen empanadas<\/strong>, there’s no need to thaw them first.<\/p>

      Simply place them straight onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at the standard recipe temperature.<\/p>

      Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time since they’re going into the oven frozen.<\/p>
