Grilled Spinach Empanada is a nutritious twist on the traditional empanada, a staple of Latin American cuisine. This handheld delight features a crispy, golden-brown crust cooked on a grill rather than fried, reducing unnecessary fats. The filling is a vibrant blend of fresh spinach, onions, garlic, and feta or ricotta cheese, offering a balance of fiber, vitamins like A and C, and calcium. Spinach provides antioxidants and iron, supporting heart health and energy levels, while the cheese adds creamy texture and protein. The grilled preparation keeps the dish lighter compared to deep-fried versions, making it suitable for those seeking flavorful yet healthier meals. While the crust contains carbohydrates and moderate fats, choosing a whole-grain version can boost nutritional value. Perfect for a quick snack or appetizer, the Grilled Spinach Empanada pairs wholesome ingredients with culinary tradition.
