Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400⁰F. Bake the sweet potatoes in their skins for 35-45 minutes until slightly soft but still firm in the middle. You can check this by inserting a knife into the center of the potato. Remove from the oven and let cool until easy to handle. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into thin rounds.Step 2
On a lightly floured surface roll the puff pastry to bring to 1/16inch thickness. Cut into 3 even rectangles and prick the entire pastry with a fork.Step 3
Line a small baking sheet tray with parchment paper and transfer the pastry rectangles to the tray. Be sure to leave at least 2 inches between each pastry and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 30 min.Step 4
To assemble, remove pastry from the fridge and brush with lightly beaten egg. Spread equal thin layers of sour cream on each pastry leaving a ¼ inch border all around. Arrange the potato slices on the pastry, slightly overlapping, add the Ontario greenhouse cherry tomatoes to each pastry, crumble goat cheese and top with sliced chili.Step 5
Bake for 20-25 min until pastry is cooked through and golden.Step 6
While the pastry is cooking, you can combine the garlic, olive oil, parsley and a touch of salt. As soon as the pastries come out of the oven, brush them with this mixture and season with freshly cracked black pepper and addition kosher salt.
