Roasted Carrot Tart with Honeyed Ricotta

Ingredients

  • 4-5 carrots, cut lengthwise in 1/4" slices
  • 1 rectangle of puff pastry
  • 1 475g tub ricotta
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 tsp thyme leaves + more sprigs for garnishing
  • salt and pepper as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425.

  2. Roll out the puff pastry so it's roughly a 10"x14" rectangle. Score a border about 1/2" from the edge around the whole rectangle - this creates the raised edges of the tart. Prick the pastry inside the border with a fork every few inches.Place in the oven and allow to bake for 15 minutes.

  3. Toss the sliced carrots with 1 Tbsp olive oil and slat and pepper. Arrange on a single layer on a sheet pan, and place in the oven on a rack underneath the puff pastry. Bake for 15 minutes.

  4. While everything is in the oven, mix the ricotta, honey, 2 Tbsp olive oil, and thyme into a food processor and blend for a few minutes until creamy.

  5. Remove the puff pastry and spread the ricotta mixture over the entire pastry, excluding the border. Arrange roasted carrots on top in a single layer, and place back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes.

  6. Whatever you do, do not broil - I did thinking I could make the carrots have a bit more colour, and I ended up with a burnt crust! Oops.

  7. Remove from the oven and garnish with extra thyme and a drizzle of honey.
