• Garlic butter

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

1. Remove the frozen Hot Pocket from the packaging and place it in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

2. 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 pepperoni, cheese, and sauce 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 marinara, ranch, or garlic butter.
