Gluten-Free Empanadas offer a flavorful twist on the classic Latin-American pastry, perfect for those avoiding gluten. Typically originating from Spanish or South American cuisine, these empanadas feature a dough crafted from alternative gluten-free flours like almond, chickpea, or rice flour. Filled with diverse ingredients such as seasoned meats, vegetables, or plant-based proteins, they combine savory spices with fresh herbs for a satisfying taste. By eliminating traditional wheat flour, these empanadas are safe for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. They’re often baked instead of fried, which lowers fat content for a healthier option. However, some variations may contain added fats or cheeses in the fillings, contributing to the calorie count. Packed with protein and fiber depending on the chosen fillings and flours, Gluten-Free Empanadas are an approachable snack or meal that balances indulgence with dietary mindfulness.
