Empanadas are a popular dish in many Latin American countries, and their crispy exterior and flavorful fillings make them a favorite among foodies worldwide. Today, we are going to share a simple yet delicious recipe for Crispy Veg Empanadas that you can easily make at home.

To start, you will need the following ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced
– 1/2 cup ice water
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 zucchini, diced
– 1 cup corn kernels
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
– Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)

Start by making the dough for the empanadas. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the diced butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water and mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the filling. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and corn kernels. Cook until the vegetables are tender. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out circles using a round cutter or a small bowl. Place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture on one half of each circle. Add a sprinkle of cheese if desired. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash and fold the dough over to enclose the filling. Press the edges with a fork to seal.

Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

These Crispy Veg Empanadas are perfect for a quick and delicious meal or snack. You can customize the filling with your favorite veggies or even add some protein like cooked chicken or beans. Serve them hot with a side of salsa or guacamole for an extra burst of flavor.
