Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Thaw both sheets of puff pastry per the directions on the box. Cut each sheet into six 4″ x 6″ rectangles. Line the rectangles up on the prepared baking sheets and place in the refrigerator or freezer to chill.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and cut into cubes about 1/4″ to 1/2″ thick. Place the cubes in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking tray and bake on the center rack of the oven for 20 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through. Allow the potatoes to cool to room temperature.
  3. Deseed and finely dice the jalapeño. In a bowl, stir together the jalapeño, cooked and cooled chorizo, and sweet potatoes. Set aside.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator or freezer. With a sharp knife, lightly trace a border about 1/2″ from the edge being careful not to cut all the way through the pastry. Brush the outer edges of each tart with the beaten egg, leaving the centers without egg wash.
  5. Spread 1/3 oz (9-10 grams) of goat cheese over the center of each tart. Top with 1-2 heaping spoons of the sweet potato, chorizo, and jalapeño mixture and crumble the remaining goat cheese over the top of each tart. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
  6. Bake 25-30 minutes until the pastry is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool a bit on the baking sheet. Serve warm. Optional: serve with sliced avocado or an egg on top.
