Savory Pie with Legume Base, the New Trend, cooked in an air fryer or oven.
Disclaimer: In my blog, I’ve chosen not to use sponsored ingredients or products. Everything I mention is purchased, and if something convinces me or not, I comment on it just like you would in your kitchen.
Today, I’m telling you about this “puff pastry” made of legumes that I found in the refrigerated section of my supermarket.
The manufacturer calls this product: fresh base for savory pies, intelligently named because it’s less crispy, flaky, and fatty compared to traditional puff pastry.
What caught my attention were the nutritional values, especially the saturated fat percentage of 0.6 and the 276 kcal calories. In traditional puff pastry, saturated fats are 8.7 and calories 390 kcal.
In light of this, I put it in the cart and prepared a classic spinach and ricotta savory pie.
Conclusion: for me, it’s a big yes, and I recommend it.
