These air-fryer empanadas cook up golden-crisp in the air fryer.
The simple filling of peppers and ground beef pairs beautifully with bright and herby chimichurri sauce.
Add onion and bell pepper and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

On a lightly floured surface, roll pie crusts into 11-inch circles.
Using a biscuit cutter, cut 4 (4 1/2-inch) rounds from each pie crust.
Place 2 tablespoons beef filling in the center of each round.
Brush egg wash around the edge of each crust and fold the dough in half, covering the filling.
Crimp or pleat the edges to seal.
Coat the air-fryer basket with cooking spray.
Place 6 empanadas in the basket.
