I provided 2 options to cook these empanadas i.e. oven baked and deep fried. Of course, deep frying these babies makes them super crispy. Oven baked ones are only slightly crispy but still good, nevertheless. As for the fillings, you can actually make whatever you prefer.

Tricolor Paprika or Capsicum = 120 g (cubed)
Hard Boiled Eggs = 2 (cut into smaller pieces)
Salt = 1 tsp

Ground Oregano = 1 tsp
Paprika Powder = 1 tsp

Psyllium Husk (Finely Ground) = 18 g / 2 tbsp
Salt = 1 tsp
Hot or Boiling Water = 120 ml / 1/2 cup
NOTE: The walnuts should be ground together with the coconut flour so that it can absorb the excess fats from the walnuts and prevents it from turning into butter. Any ungrounded chunks should be removed otherwise the dough would not be smooth.

SESAME & SUNFLOWER
White Sesame Meal = 60 g / 1/2 cup
Sunflower Meal = 60 g / 1/2 cup
Psyllium Husk (Finely Ground) = 18 g / 2 tbsp

NOTE: The white sesame and sunflower seeds can be grounded with a coffee bean, seeds, nuts or multi grinder.

DIRECTIONS FOR FILLING
1. In a pan, stir fry the onions with coconut oil until fragrant.
2. Add the ground beef and cook for a while. Then add all the seasonings and cook for a while. Adjust taste accordingly.
3. Add the boiled eggs and mix for a while.
4. Turn off heat and add the spring onions. Mix to combine.
5. Dish up and set aside.

DIRECTIONS FOR DOUGH
1. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
2. Add wet ingredients and mix until a dough is formed.
3. Knead the dough for a while then shape into a ball.
4. Roll the dough between 2 parchment papers
5. Use a 2" cutter or any suitable cutter to cut out into round shapes
6. Wet the edges of the cut dough with water.
7. Spoon fillings onto the center of the cut dough.
8. Fold and press down to seal the edges. Press and fold over the edges to a create pattern or for an easier option, just use a fork to crimp the edges.
9. For an oven baked option, place the empanadas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg wash and bake for 10 to 15 mins at 380F or 190C.
10. For a deep dry option, fry the empanadas in a deep pot with coconut oil over medium to high heat until browned and crispy.
11. Enjoy these keto empanadas immediately.

The best dough ever!! Thanks. I watch from Colombia where this recipe it's a very traditional dish. I have a Chanel in Spanish were I do keto recipes as well. Thanks again.

Love ALL of your videos but this one has to be one of my top favorites so far ! Being that I am Puerto Rican, empanadas (known as "pastelillos" on the island) are one of many staples to us. The fact that you gave me a recipe that's healthier AND tastes just as good makes me incredibly happy. Thank you so much 💙

Those are the best gluten free and low carb empanadas doughs, I prepared sesame and sunflower. Excellent! Thank You!

[abeertoutounchian]

Hi my dear 😘 I need to know if the husk wight is before or after grind???

[judysbakeryandtestkitchen]

I’m so excited! I want to make
Vegetarian potstickers! I’ve missed them so much!!

I really don’t want to buy sunflower, walnut, hazelnut or any other new flour. I am at my limit of keto ingredients. Can I grind the seeds or nuts in my food processor as finely as possible . Can I use that for this recipe these recipes?

[susannaal-labban]

Thank you for this amazing video! I am not keto, but I do have to eat gluten free because of Celiac's disease. I am curious, which dough is your favorite? Which one do you think is the most foolproof and easiest to work with? I want to try this weekend, and I have the ingredients for all the doughs - so I'm not sure which one to start off with first 🙂 Thanks again!
