About Spinach empanada
Spinach empanadas are a delightful pastry originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisines, celebrated for their flaky crust and savory filling. The filling typically combines fresh spinach, onions, garlic, and melted cheese, seasoned with spices like nutmeg or paprika for added depth. Rich in nutrients, spinach provides a powerhouse of vitamins A, C, and K, along with iron and dietary fiber, supporting digestion and overall health. When baked, spinach empanadas offer a lighter alternative to their fried counterparts, reducing fat content while maintaining their delicious crispiness. However, the pastry dough often contains butter or shortening, which can contribute to saturated fat intake, and the cheese adds calories and sodium. To make them even healthier, opt for whole-grain dough or limit the cheese. Versatile and satisfying, spinach empanadas are a balanced snack for vegetarians or anyone craving a nutritious, flavorful treat.
