Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and corn to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp, around 5-6 minutes.
-
Season the vegetable mixture with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Roll out the empanada dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter or a small plate, cut out circles of dough.
-
Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each dough circle. Be careful not to overfill to prevent spillage when sealing.
-
Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash and fold the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal, then crimp with a fork to secure.
-
Transfer the empanadillas to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash for a golden, crispy finish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the empanadillas are golden brown and crisp.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
