- 2 medium sweet potatoes 650 g
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste

Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature. They work well as an Appetizer, savoury snack or part of a sharing platter with a fresh salad or yoghurt-based dip.Recipe Notes
Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly before scooping out the flesh. Mash the filling until mostly smooth while leaving a little texture from the caramelised onion and coriander. Keep the puff pastry chilled until you are ready to fill it. Warm pastry becomes soft and difficult to seal, while cool pastry produces a better rise and crisper layers.Cooking Advice
Seal and crimp the pastry edges firmly so the filling stays inside during cooking. Lightly scoring the tops allows steam to escape while the pastry becomes crisp and golden.Storage Advice
Store cooled rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the Airfryer until thoroughly hot and crisp.Wine Advice
The sweet potato, caramelised onion and spicy harissa work well with a fruity white wine. Choose a suitable wine from René's Wijnbeleving.Nutrition values
