How to Make Frozen Pierogies in the Air Fryer

  • Cook the bacon by laying the strips in the air fryer and air frying for 6 minutes at 360°F. Flip each piece and cook for another 5-6 minutes until crispy. Set the strips aside to cool, then crumble while the pierogies cook.
  • Next, place the frozen pierogies in the air fryer, fitting as many as possible without overlapping or crowding the basket. Then, lightly spray the tops of each with cooking oil.
  • Air fry at 400°F for 6 minutes, flip each one, then lightly spray with cooking oil. Air fry for another 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Optional Step: Open the air fryer basket and sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the pierogies, then air fryer for an additional 3 minutes at 350°F or until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the air fryer and top with crumbled bacon, sour cream, and chopped parsley.
