About Empanadas de verde
Empanadas de Verde are a traditional Ecuadorian dish made from green plantains, which are mashed and formed into a dough. These savory turnovers are typically filled with a mix of cheese or meat and sometimes flavored with onion or spices for added depth. The plantain dough is naturally gluten-free and a source of dietary fiber, offering a nutrient-rich alternative to wheat-based pastry. Green plantains are also packed with vitamins A and C, potassium, and complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy. However, the method of preparation often involves frying, which can increase fat and calorie content. For a healthier option, they can be baked instead. Perfect as a snack or appetizer, this dish is a delicious combination of Ecuador's culinary heritage and the versatility of plantains as a staple food ingredient.
