Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Puff Pastry with Sage and Caramelised Onion ### Ingredients:

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 cup of pumpkin puree (canned or freshly made)
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried sage)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg (for egg wash)
Optional: Vegan alternative for egg wash

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
Meanwhile, boil the diced sweet potato in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash in a bowl, then mix in the pumpkin puree, cooked onions, chopped sage, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into desired shapes—squares or circles work great.
Place a spoonful of the sweet potato and pumpkin filling in the center of each pastry piece. Be careful not to overfill.
Fold the pastry over to encase the filling, and press the edges to seal. For an extra touch, crimp the edges with a fork.
Brush the tops of the pastries with egg wash or a vegan alternative. This will give them a lovely golden color when baked.
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Puff Pastry warm!
