2. Place empanada on oven safe sheet tray.
3. Cook empanada for 14-17 min or until crust is golden and flaky.

Deep Fried
1. Pour cooking oil of choice into a large shallow pot.
(There should be enough oil to fully cover the empanada. DO NOT FILL OIL MORE THAN HALF WAY OF THE POT.)
2. Let oil heat up slowly, at a medium-low heat. Using a candy thermometer to check, the oil temperature should be at 325° F.
