Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover pastry pockets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes to maintain crispiness. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months and reheat directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
