Number Of Ingredients 15

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
3 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
½ small celery root, peeled and diced
2 medium carrots, diced
1 large parsnip, peeled and diced
1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
¼ cup all purpose flour
2 cups vegetable stock
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife and cutting board: Dicing the vegetables finely and uniformly ensures even cooking and a consistent texture in the puffs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from steaming rather than sautéing, resulting in a mushy texture.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The type of cheese you use can significantly impact the taste of the puffs. Try using a sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan cheese for a rich and flavorful filling.
  • Don't overfill the puff pastry: When filling the puff pastry, be sure not to overfill it, as this can cause the puffs to burst during baking.
  • Bake the puffs until golden brown: The puffs should be baked until they are golden brown and flaky. This ensures that the pastry is cooked through and the filling is heated evenly.

Conclusion:

Mini vegetable puffs are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create a variety of different fillings using your favorite vegetables, cheeses, and herbs.
