Ingredients

▢ 2 frozen hot pockets
▢ cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375° F.
Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket.
Place the frozen hot pockets at the bottom of the air fryer basket. Leave space between the two hot pockets and keep them in a single layer.
Cook for 10 minutes or until the hot pocket is golden brown and crispy on the outside. See photo above for a visual reference.
Serve immediately alone or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Not all air fryers cook the same, cook times may need to be adjusted according to which type of air fryer you use.
Overcooking runs the risk of a rock-hard outside, or the center exploding out! Be careful.
You can use this for any flavor of hot pocket like four cheese, ham and cheese, buffalo chicken, or any other frozen pizza pocket you love.
This is a better method than the microwave and crisping sleeve.
Make sure to keep the hot pocket frozen; don't thaw before cooking.
Do not overcrowd your air fryer basket while cooking. The hot pockets should just barely not touch for the most even cooking.
