Ingredients 

•         1 sheet ready rolled puffed pastry 

•         450g sweet potato, peeled and roasted

•         1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained and blitzed

•         150g roasted red peppers

•         50g milled flaxseeds

•         50g chia seeds

•         1 garlic clove

•         1 tbsp tomato puree

Method 

Preheat the oven to 180 and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Peel sweet potatoes and chop into cubed pieces. Spread on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and sprinkle cumin and sweet paprika. Roast in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes until slightly caramelised. Once cooked, allow to cool slightly. 

 

Meanwhile, in a food processor blitz the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, garlic, flaxseed, chia seeds, coriander and tomato puree together until very smooth, season with salt and pepper. Add in sweet potato and blitz further. 

 

Remove the pastry from the fridge 15 minutes before using, and gently unroll and  cut into  2  equal pieces lengthways. Divide filling  equally down the centre. Brush edges  with soya milk and pinch together to encase the filling. . 

 

Brush each with soya milk and sprinkle over poppy seeds. Place on a lined baking tray and pop in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes until golden and puffed.
