About Veggie and cheese empanada
The Veggie and Cheese Empanada is a delightful pastry originating from Latin American cuisine, embodying a harmonious blend of flavor and tradition. This handheld treat features a golden, flaky crust encasing a savory filling of mixed vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, and onions, paired with melted cheese for added richness. Its wholesome veggie ingredients provide essential vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, while the cheese contributes calcium and protein. Although baked versions can be healthier, many empanadas are traditionally fried, which may add extra calories and fats. Perfect as a snack or light meal, Veggie and Cheese Empanadas offer a nutritious boost through the vegetables, yet moderation is key due to the dough and cheese content. A versatile favorite, it celebrates classic Latin flavors while encouraging a balance of indulgence and nourishment.
