Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 Sweet Potatoes
- 1 can Chickpeas, drained
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Pastry Ingredients
- Store-bought or homemade Pastry Dough
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Start by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes. Boil them in a pot until tender. Meanwhile, sauté chopped onions and minced garlic in a frying pan until golden brown. Once the potatoes are cooked, mash them lightly and stir in the sautéed onions, garlic, and drained chickpeas. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Dough: If you’re using store-bought pastry dough, roll it out on a floured surface. If making homemade dough, prepare your favorite recipe and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out circles or squares, depending on your preference for the pockets.
- Assemble the Pockets: Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough piece. Fold over to create a pocket and press the edges together, sealing them well. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an added decorative touch.
- Bake the Pockets: Arrange the assembled pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with olive oil for a golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and spices enhance flavor and nutrition in your pockets.
- Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overfill the pockets to prevent them from bursting during baking.
- Chill the Dough: If the dough gets too warm while you work, pop it in the fridge for a few minutes.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preference for a personalized flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy these pockets fresh from the oven for the best texture and taste.
