Crispy and delicious air fryer pierogies made in just minutes. This quick recipe uses frozen pierogies tossed in a little oil and cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer, making for an easy appetizer or snack served with tangy sour cream.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen pierogies
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil (in a spray bottle or for brushing)
- Sour cream, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the pierogies: Place the frozen pierogies in a large bowl. Spray them with cooking oil evenly and toss them gently to coat all sides. Alternatively, you can pour the oil over the pierogies and use a pastry brush to evenly spread the oil.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Lay the coated pierogies in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding to ensure even cooking and crisping.
- Air fry: Cook the pierogies at 400°F (204°C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, typically around 5-6 minutes, open the air fryer and turn the pierogies over to ensure they crisp evenly on both sides.
- Serve: Once golden brown and crispy, remove the pierogies from the air fryer and serve them warm with sour cream for dipping.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- You can substitute sour cream with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or a spicy aioli.
- Adjust air frying time slightly if you prefer a softer or crispier texture.
- If using chilled or thawed pierogies, reduce cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
