Do you have any recipe for a savory snack?

Question
1

Are there any recipes available for flavorful frozen snacks that are healthier than manufactured frozen snacks?

Any recipes for savory snacks? Something I could prepare ahead of time, freeze, and cook in batches when needed. such as samozas, hot pockets, and pizza bites. Something I can’t prepare in bulk and store in the freezer for a week or two.

Setting:

My children are maturing. These days, teens eat a lot. And lately, I’ve been reducing my intake of processed foods. There are some frozen treats that you can quickly cook or put in an air fryer, but because we live in Asia and not everything has an ingredients list, I’d like to make them myself in larger quantities.

@WilliamMia This seems fun to prepare, and yum too. I should spare some time and get down to it.
