Individual Sweet Potato Crostatas Recipes

ROASTED SWEET POTATO STACKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F/190C (standard) or 350F/180C (fan/convection).
• Peel the potatoes, then slice thinly (about 2 mm / 1/10" thick). Transfer into a large bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients. Toss well with your hands.
• Place piles of the slices in the muffin tin. Don't worry if they are higher than the rim - they shrink about 25%.
• Top each stack with about 1/2 tsp of the remaining butter mixture in the bowl.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until the edge of the top slices are starting to brown and the inside of the stacks are cooked (use skewer or knife to check).
• Use a fork and knife to remove the stacks from the muffin tin. Optional: Brush tops with residual butter in muffin tin. Serve as soon as possible.

INDIVIDUAL SWEET POTATO CROSTATAS

Steps:

• Cut sweet potatoes into even chunks, place in medium size saucepan, cover with water and boil for 10 to 15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and when cool enough to handle remove the peel.
• Place in large bowl and add in brown sugar, egg, milk, salt, butter, almond extract and pumpkin pie spice. Coarsely mash and mix in shredded coconut and craisins.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll out pastry crusts one at a time and cut into 4ths. Place 4 wedges on each cookie sheet. Evenly mound the sweet potato mixture onto the 8 wedges. Fold edges of each wedges in about 1/2 and inch, leaving the center of each exposed.
• Beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the pastry edges with egg white wash. Finely chop the sliced almonds and sprinkle over the top of pastries. Top each with a generous portion of miniature marshmallows.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove pastries to a wire rack and allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
