About Camote empanadas
Camote Empanadas are a sweet and savory pastry originating from Latin American cuisine, specifically regions where sweet potatoes, or “camote,” are a dietary staple. These empanadas feature a tender, flaky dough filled with a rich, spiced sweet potato mixture, often enhanced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar for depth of flavor. The filling may occasionally include nuts or dried fruits for added texture and sweetness. Camote, rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins such as A and C, is the nutritional highlight of this dish. However, empanadas are typically fried or baked with butter or oil, making them higher in calories and fat. While a delicious treat, they are best enjoyed in moderation. Opting for baked versions or whole-grain dough can make them a healthier choice without compromising their comforting appeal.
