Both taste awesome but i would prefer baked less fat =)

Baking them is the healthier way IMO.

You really need a deep fryer at the right temperature to get the best results. If you don't get the oil temperature hot enough they absorb a lot of it.

I think it really depends of what you will fill them with.

If they are going to have an apple filling or something, they should definitely go in the oven.

If they are going to be filled with meat and potatoes, they should be fried.

You can really put anything in there: shrimp, tuna, beans, cheese, pear, peaches... ect.

To answer your question, I prefer them baked.

No matter what type of empanada if it be apple, pineapple, or meat I prefer mine baked!
