Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 5–6 medium carrots, peeled and sliced thin on a diagonal
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, snipped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (optional)
- Zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing the pastry)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C (400F) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Roll out the puff pastry a little to smooth the creases. Transfer to your prepared sheet. Use a sharp knife to lightly score a 1cm border.
- Toss your sliced carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the carrots out on a baking tray and roast for 12-15 minutes.
- While carrots are roasting, blend ricotta, parsley, chives, dill, lemon zest & juice, garlic, and sea salt in a food processor until mostly smooth.
- Spread the ricotta mixture over the middle of the pastry, keeping inside the border.
- Layer the roasted carrots over the ricotta.
- Brush the exposed edges of the pastry with your beaten egg.
- Bake the tart for about 22-27 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
- Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Use leftover roasted carrots if available.
- Adjust herbs or citrus in the ricotta mixture to taste.
- Rustic presentation is acceptable.
