Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C. Set out two sheet pans.
- On the first sheet pan, toss cauliflower, sweet potatoes, olive oil, paprika and some salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until vegetables are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Place puff pastry on the second sheet pan and slice into 8 small rectangles (amount for 4 servings; adjust if customizing). Fill the center of each rectangle with mushrooms. Tear cheese slices and top mushrooms with cheese. Dip your fingers in water and run your fingers around the edges of each rectangle. Fold puff pastry rectangles over to enclose filling and press edges to enclose (the water should help the pastry to stick).
- Cut a slit in the top of each pastry.
- Whisk egg and brush over tops of puff pastry. Sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Bake hot pockets until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
- When vegetables are tender, toss with parsley and capers.
- Serve hot pockets with roasted vegetables on the side. Enjoy!

Used the full package of puff pastry (17 oz instead of 10 oz), which made them a lot easier to fill sufficiently. They were pretty delicious and satisfying.
0 HelpfulThese did not come together easily for me. I think I have to practice with puff pasty more.
0 HelpfulIt was tasty but could not fit a lot of filling in and once puffed up felt like more pastry than filling.
0 HelpfulAdded sausage thanks to another reviewer's comment. Tripled amount of mushrooms. Doubled puff pastry. Tasted fantastic, but barely enough for a full meal. Loved the capers and parsley in the veggies!
