These incredibly flavorful vegan empanadas have a flaky, crispy wrapper encasing a savory filling of black beans, potatoes and more veggies. They are baked, not fried. Serve with a zesty tomato salsa or salsa verde for a filling snack or meal!

It is hard for nearly anyone to resist an empanada, a crescent, turnover-like pastry made by stuffing a flaky, crispy wrapper with a spicy, mouthwatering filling.

In Spain and in the Latin American countries, where empanadas were born and popularized, the filling is often made with beef, pork or cheese. But today I have for you a very vegan but just as delicious empanada with a tasty, spicy filling of black beans and veggies.
Empanadas are often deep-fried but these vegan black bean empanadas are baked, which, along with the healthy filling, also makes them far better for you.

If you are feeding picky eaters who turn up their noses at beans and veggies, this is a great food to make them begin to love them. The crispy wrapper makes these empanadas irresistible, especially when you serve them with a zesty salsa for dipping.
