Time & Serves
Ingredients
2 pounds Rainbow Carrots, peeled, cut into sticks
1 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
2 teaspoons Red Wine Vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Ground Allspice
1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 large Eggs
1 1/4 cups Ricotta Cheese
2 tablespoons Thyme, chopped
Gluten-Free Flour (for dusting)
1 (14 ounce) package gluten-free puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup Salted Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the carrots, sugar, salt, red wine vinegar, all-spice, pepper and olive oil together in a mixing bowl until fully coated.
Spread the carrots out evenly on the line baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes until the carrots have browned slightly.
Remove the carrots from the oven letting them cool while the ricotta filling is being made.
Whisk the ricotta cheese, eggs and thyme together in a bowl until fully incorporated. Set aside until ready to use.
Place a piece of parchment paper onto a clean kitchen surface lightly dusting it with gluten-free flour.
Transfer the gluten-free puff pastry sheet onto the parchment paper, use a rolling pin to roll the pastry sheet until its 1/2 inch thick.
Use an off set spatula or large spoon to spread the ricotta filling onto the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch boarder on the edges for the crust.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry over creating a 1-inch crust, brushing the edges with the melted butter.
Line the carrots in rows pressing them into the ricotta filling until all the carrots are all used up.
Use the parchment paper to carefully transfer the carrot tart onto a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes until the puff pastry is nice and golden brown.
Allow the carrot tart to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving warm.
