I did two meatball marinara hotpockets in my air fryer for 6 minutes per side at 350 degrees. Unfortunately the outsides were great while the insides of both were still cold. I guess I’ll have to go to an even lower temp next time.

1. Hello Brandon 🙂 We have had good luck with hot pockets at 370F/189C for 11-13 minutes. 🙂 I hope that helps 🙂

Hello, I’m new to air frying and was so glad to come across this ‘recipe’! I don’t eat a lot of Hot Pockets, maybe because they weren’t very good in the microwave. They were hard, like a brick. This is a game-changer! I just made one, and it never tasted like that in the microwave. It had some crunch, but it was softer. The cheese was soft and stretchy. What a difference! Thank you for this recipe!

1. You are so welcome! Enjoy and have fun with your air fryer!

Followed your directions exactly (13 minutes at 370, after preheating) and the pockets were still frozen on the inside. It may be a difference in air fryer, hot pocket flavor, hot pocket brand, or even altitude.

1. Hi Rebecca, yes it could be all those things. I would suggest increasing your heat to 390 at 13 min and then add 2 min increments until its warm. I am not familiar with cooking at higher altitude but that will give you a place to start 🙂
