Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add the diced red bell pepper and yellow onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened.

4. Add the canned or fresh jackfruit, corn kernels, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg replacement and 1 tablespoon of water.

6. Lay out an empanada wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon a small amount of the jackfruit mixture onto one half of the wrapper, leaving a small border around the edges.

7. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg replacement mixture. Fold the other half of the wrapper over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.

8. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

9. Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a little bit of olive oil.

10. Bake the empanadas for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

11. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
