About Fried empanadas

Fried empanadas are a popular dish in Latin American and Spanish cuisines, celebrated for their flaky, golden crust and savory filling. Typically, the dough is made from flour, water, and fat, stuffed with a variety of ingredients such as seasoned meats, cheese, vegetables, or even sweet fillings like fruit or caramel. Fried in oil, these hand-held pastries deliver a satisfying crunch and rich flavor. While empanadas are a source of protein and energy due to their filling, the frying process adds extra calories and fat, making them a less healthy option compared to baked alternatives. Still, moderation and pairing them with nutrient-rich sides like fresh salads can balance their indulgence. The versatility of empanadas makes them a crowd-pleaser, offering endless possibilities for customization to suit varying tastes and dietary needs.
