Ingredients
1 Hot Pockets BBQ Recipe Beef (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
1 tsp olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)
Optional Dipping Sauces:
Ranch dressing
BBQ sauce
Spicy hot sauce
Cheese dip
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the Hot Pocket cooks evenly and gets extra crispy.
Step 2: Prepare the Hot Pocket
Remove the frozen Hot Pocket from the packaging and place it in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to enhance crispiness (optional).
Step 3: Air Fry the Hot Pocket
Cook at 375°F for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
For extra crunch, cook an additional 1-2 minutes at 400°F at the end.
The Hot Pocket should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the BBQ beef and cheese filling remains hot and melty.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the Hot Pocket from the air fryer and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before eating.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, BBQ sauce, or hot sauce.
