Steps
How to prepare the Savory Pie with Pumpkin, Potatoes, and Tropea Onions
Start with the vegetables: peel and cut the pumpkin into cubes, do the same with the potatoes after washing and drying them. Peel the Tropea onions and slice them not too thinly
Transfer everything to a non-stick baking pan, add a drizzle of EVO oil, salt, pepper, marjoram, and mix well with a spoon or wooden spatula
Place the pan in the air fryer and cook with the air fry setting at 356°F for 20 minutes. Stir or shake the vegetables a couple of times during cooking
Once the vegetables are ready, take them out
Add the grated provolone cheese
Also add 3.5 oz of diced provola cheese and mix well. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary, but don’t overdo it. The provolone is already very flavorful and the Pecorino Romano will add even more taste to the vegetables
Take the tart pan and place the puff pastry in it, removing the parchment paper. Prick the base with a fork
Distribute the vegetables and sprinkle with Pecorino and a light layer of breadcrumbs
Fold the edges of the pie and drizzle with a bit of oil
Preheat the air fryer with the bake or air fry setting at 338°F for 2/3 minutes. Place the pan on the grill or tray and cook the pie for 23 minutes.
Remove the pan and check the base’s cooking; if necessary, continue for a few more minutes. If sufficiently cooked, distribute the remaining diced provola cheese on top
Put the pan back in the air fryer and continue cooking at 392°F for 2 minutes or until the provola melts
Remove it from the oven and wait a few minutes before serving
Transfer the Savory Pie with Pumpkin, Potatoes, and Tropea Onions to a serving platter, cut it into wedges and serve it

Storage and Variation of the Savory Pie with Pumpkin, Potatoes, and Tropea Onions
You can keep the Savory Pie with Pumpkin, Potatoes, and Tropea Onions in the fridge covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can heat it in the air fryer or preheated oven at 338°F for a few minutes before serving and when needed. You can also freeze the already cooked savory pie and defrost it when needed, heating it in the air fryer or oven.
You can replace Pecorino with Grana or Parmesan, provola with Asiago or Latteria, and spicy provolone with any aged cheese you prefer.
You can use rectangular puff pastry instead of round and place it in a pan suitable for your air fryer.
I used a 28 cm pan, you can use a round pan suitable for your air fryer. With a smaller pan, the edges will cover more of the filling.
Remove the parchment paper immediately if you can; otherwise, do it halfway through cooking when the puff has firmed up. Do not let the puff cook with the paper, especially if your air fryer only has one heating element, as it will block the cooking, keeping the base moist and taking longer to cook.
