Delicious sweet potato puff pastry bites, perfect for your Thanksgiving meal. These easy-to-make appetizers are sweet, savory, and impressive, yet simple to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 1 egg, for egg wash

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This sweet potato filling is key for these Thanksgiving appetizers.
  3. Lightly flour your counter and unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Roll them gently to smooth any creases, then cut into 2-inch squares. A pizza cutter works well for these sweet potato Thanksgiving starters.
  4. Spoon about one teaspoon of the sweet potato mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Avoid overstuffing.
  5. Fold each pastry square diagonally into a triangle, then press the edges firmly with a fork to seal. This creates lovely sweet potato bites.
  6. Arrange the sealed sweet potato appetizers on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring space between each one to allow for puffing.
  7. Brush the top of each sweet potato puff pastry bite with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are gloriously golden brown and flaky. These easy sweet potato appetizers are ready when perfectly puffed.
  9. Let the sweet potato appetizers cool slightly before serving warm. They make excellent Thanksgiving hors d’oeuvres.

Notes

  • You can make the sweet potato filling ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the pastries with melted butter before applying the egg wash and baking these sweet potato small plates.
  • If you’re out of sweet potatoes, pumpkin puree can be used as a substitute for these simple sweet potato appetizers for fall.
  • Allow puff pastry to thaw slowly in the fridge overnight for best results; rushing it can make it sticky.
  • Do not crowd the baking sheet; allow space for the sweet potato Thanksgiving starters to puff properly.
  • These healthy sweet potato appetizers for Thanksgiving can be served with cranberry sauce or spicy aioli for an elevated touch.
