Air Fryer Frozen Tamales
Tamales are a traditional Mexican dish that is usually seen around the holidays. But instead of making them the old-fashioned way, we're going to see how we can use the new technology of air fryers to help us make tamales in a healthy way.
Ingredients
- 2 Frozen tamales
- 1 spritz Light olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly spray the tamales with olive oil.
- Remove the frozen tamales from the package. Place them in an air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket.
- Air fry at 375 degrees for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove the frozen tamales from the air fryer and serve it with your favorite toppings or side dish.
Notes
- Ensure that the frozen tamales are evenly spread out in the air fryer tray so that they can cook evenly.
- Frozen tamales do not need to be defrosted first - just remove them from the freezer and place it in the air fryer.
- You can place parchment paper on the basket to prevent this from sticking if you don't want to use any oil.
- The air fryer tray only needs to be cleaned once the frozen tamales are cooked. This will keep your air fryer efficient!
