Empanadas can be nutritious if filled with veggies, lean proteins, and baked instead of fried. I think it's all about what ingredients you use, though.

Depending on the ingredients and cooking method, empanadas can be nutritious. They may be made more healthy by selecting whole grain dough, lean proteins, and an abundance of veggies. They might not be as healthful, though, if they are deep-fried or cooked with a lot of cheese and fatty meats.
