At Palenque NYC, our empanadas are celebrated as some of the finest New York has to offer, crafted with an authentic Bogotá-style recipe handed down through generations. They feature a harmonious blend of traditional spices and textures that evoke true Colombian flavor. Made with premium organic ingredients, these empanadas use a gluten-free dough from nutrient-rich ancient grains for easier digestion. The filling includes papitas criollas (yellow potatoes), hogao (a blend of tomatoes, green onion, and olive oil), and creamy organic peanut butter. Prepared healthfully, they are fried in heart-healthy avocado oil, contain no artificial preservatives, and have reduced sodium compared to typical empanadas.
These New York-style mini empanadas showcase a vegan Pipian filling, blending yellow potatoes, tomatoes, and creamy peanut butter. Enclosed in our distinctive gluten-free dough, each empanada delivers authentic Colombian flavors crafted with care.
To prepare, preheat your oven to 350°F, lightly brush both sides with oil, and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, brush with olive oil and cook in an air fryer at 390°F for 20 minutes until golden brown. Perfectly seasoned and easy to cook, these empanadas bring a gourmet touch to your meal.
