Instructions

1. Prepare the Sweet Potato Base

1. Peel and boil or steam the sweet potatoes until soft (about 15–20 minutes).

2. Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Let them cool slightly.

3. Mix in eggs, breadcrumbs (or almond flour), salt, pepper, and optional spices until you get a thick, pliable mixture.

4. Spread the mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking tray, forming a rectangle about ½–1 cm thick.

2. Prepare the Minced Meat Filling

1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

2. Add onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.

3. Add minced meat, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned.

4. Stir in carrot, tomato paste (if using), thyme/oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes.

5. Let the mixture cool slightly.

3. Assemble the Rocambole

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Spread the minced meat mixture evenly over the sweet potato base.

3. Carefully roll the sweet potato from one edge to form a roulade (like a Swiss roll), using the parchment paper to help guide it.

4. Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet.

5. Optionally, sprinkle grated cheese on top.

4. Bake

1. Bake in preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the roll is heated through.

2. Let it cool slightly before slicing to avoid cracking.

5. Serve

• Slice into 2–3 cm thick rolls.

• Garnish with fresh herbs.

• Serve with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or a light sauce (like yogurt or tomato sauce).

💡 Tips:

• If the sweet potato mixture feels too soft, add a bit more breadcrumbs or flour to help it hold shape.

• You can also add spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the meat for extra flavor.

• For a lower-carb version, almond flour or coconut flour works perfectly.
