Carrot Puff Pastry Tart
This simple tart pairs thinly shaved carrots with creamy ricotta and crunchy sliced almonds. Make it the star of your spring holiday table!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 3 medium carrots
- 1/2 onion
- 3 Tbsp sliced almonds
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 tsp honey
- fresh parsley, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Whisk together the 1 cup ricotta cheese and the 1 large egg in a small bowl, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Thinly slice the 1/2 onion and add it to a small mixing bowl.
- Peel the 3 medium carrots and then, with your vegetable peeler, shred the rest of the carrot into thin ribbons. Add to the bowl with the onion.
- Add the 3 Tbsp sliced almonds to the carrots and onions, and season everything with olive oil, salt, and pepper. (Note: carrots can vary a lot, you are aiming for about 4 very loosely packed cups of carrot ribbon and sliced onion mixture to top this tart. A little bit more or less is fine.)
- Place the thawed puff pastry on your lined baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score around the outer edges of the puff pastry about 3/4 inch in from the edge.
- Spread the ricotta filling evenly over the inside area of the puff pastry.
- Top with the carrot and onion mixture. It will be loose and "airy", no need to pack it down before cooking.
- Drizzle with a little more olive oil and the 1/2 tsp honey.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the puff pastry is risen and golden brown.
- Remove and allow to cool briefly before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
