About Vegetarian empanada
Vegetarian Empanadas are a delightful take on a traditional Latin American pastry dish. These savory hand pies feature a flaky, golden-brown crust filled with an assortment of nutritious vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and beans, often seasoned with aromatic herbs and spices. Originating from Spanish and Portuguese cuisines, empanadas have spread across Latin America and evolved into diverse regional variations. The vegetarian version is a healthier alternative to its meat-filled counterpart, offering a boost of vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the vegetable filling. While the dough typically contains butter or oil, opting for whole-grain flour or baking instead of frying can lower fat content and increase its nutritional profile. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a meal, vegetarian empanadas combine wholesome ingredients with satisfying flavors, making them a versatile and moderately healthy option in proper portions.
