oregano; toss to coat. Transfer tomatoes to an air fryer tray or basket. Cook in the air
fryer for 10 minutes or until tomatoes are slightly charred; remove and set aside.

brown and crispy. Be sure to flip halfway through cooking.
4. While the pierogies are cooking, make the pesto. In a food processor, add all ingredients

instead.

About Mrs. T’s Pierogies
In 1952, Ted Twardzik Sr. dreamed of starting a food company inspired by his mother’s pierogy recipe. He remembered how popular the Polish dumplings were at church festivals and thought people would be excited to purchase them from their local grocery stores year-round. Later that year, Ted sold the very first pierogy samples to his local grocery store in Shenandoah, PA, and to honor his mother Mary Twardzik – the Mrs. T – he called his company Mrs. T’s Pierogies. Now, more than 70 years later, Mrs. T’s Pierogies is the largest producer of frozen pierogies, producing 600 million pierogies a year.
