Here’s an easy, teen-friendly Air Fryer Pierogies recipe that turns out crispy outside and soft inside 😄
Ingredients
- Pierogies (frozen or fresh)
- Cooking spray or 1–2 tsp oil
- Optional seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Prep pierogies
- If frozen: no need to thaw.
- Lightly spray or toss with a little oil.
- Season (optional) with salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
- Air fry
- Place in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
- Cook 8–10 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway.
- Check crispiness
- If you want them extra crispy, add 1–2 more minutes.
Serving Ideas
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Applesauce
- Sautéed onions (if you have them)
- Shredded cheese on top (add after cooking so it melts)
Tips
- Fresh pierogies usually need 1–2 minutes less.
- For softer centers, spray lightly with oil before cooking.
- If they puff up, that’s normal—just shake the basket.
If you want, tell me what filling your pierogies have (cheese, potato, meat, etc.) and I can suggest the best seasoning or dip.
