About Empanada de verde

Empanada De Verde is a flavorful, traditional snack hailing from Ecuadorian cuisine. Made with green plantain dough, these empanadas are typically filled with a savory mixture of cheese, onion, or seasoned meat, offering a delicious balance of textures and tastes. Green plantains serve as the nutrient-rich base, providing dietary fiber, vitamins A, C, and B6, and essential minerals like potassium. As the empanadas are often fried, they can be higher in fat and calories, which may be a concern for those monitoring their intake. However, baking them can make a lighter alternative. The dish showcases the resourcefulness and creativity of Ecuadorian cooking, using plantains as a versatile ingredient. Empanada De Verde offers a satisfying way to explore Latin American flavors while incorporating the nutritional benefits of plantains into your diet.
