Method

Step 1

Heat pesto in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sweet potatoes, jalapenos and cumin; cook 5 min. until sweet potatoes start to soften. If skillet is dry, add 2 tbsp (30 mL) water. Cover and cook 8 to 10 min. until sweet potatoes are tender. Stir in spinach, lime zest and juice; cook until spinach is wilted. Cool mixture completely. Stir in cheese.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide pizza dough into 20 equal portions. Lightly dust clean work surface with flour. Roll out each portion of dough into a 4-in. (10-cm) round.

Step 3

Add heaped 2 tbsp (30 mL) filling to centre of each round. Fold over dough to enclose filling; press edges of hand pie with tines of fork to seal. Prick top with fork for vent holes. Make 20 hand pies. Place on lined baking sheets, spacing 2 in. (5 cm) apart. Brush tops with olive oil. Bake 12 to 15 min. until golden brown.

Tips

Serve with lime wedges and additional basil pesto for dipping.
Substitute refrigerator pie pastry for pizza dough.
