This recipe for beetroot, walnut and goats cheese savoury palmiers is really easy as I’ve cheated and used ready-made puff pastry. Nonetheless they taste amazing and are a great way to add an extra portion of vegetables into a vegetarian starter, snack or canape.

What are palmiers?

Palmiers are small French pastries in the shape of a palm leaf, which can be sweet or savoury.

If you’re a regular reader you’ll know that I’ve been attempting to bake along with this year’s Great British Bake Off. Last week the remaining four contestants in the show (I can’t believe there’s only one week left!) were asked to make palmiers for their signature challenge. 

Patisserie isn’t my strong point when it comes to baking – I’m much more at home making cakes and bread. I’m also short on time so making my own puff pastry is probably never going to happen.

These savoury palmiers take just minutes to make

If you use ready made puff pastry it takes just a matter of minutes to put these palmiers together.

Once cooked the cheese goes all gooey and some of it oozes out – which makes them even more delicious. I think they’re particularly lovely when served warm but they make a great canapé or snack both hot or cold.

I had a one in three success rate with the kids – one refused to try them, one picked off the filling and only ate the pastry and the littlest one loved them. Which meant that I ended up eating rather a lot of them myself. Oh well…

These little beetroot canapes are a great option for a vegetarian party. They look really impressive and no-one will ever know how quick they are to make.
