Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
2
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the pastry cups. Roll out the pastry dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut out circles of dough using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. Place the dough circles into a muffin tin, pressing them into the corners and edges of the tin.
3
Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, let them cool slightly. Then, fill each pastry cup with a spoonful of roasted sweet potatoes, followed by a few dates. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and honey.
