A quick and easy roasted vegetables tart featuring caramelized root vegetables, fresh herbs, and a flaky puff pastry crust, perfect for St Patrick’s Day celebrations or any festive occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin if possible)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 parsnip, peeled and sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into rings
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley, chopped; chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss carrots, parsnip, red onion, Brussels sprouts, and bell pepper with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.
  4. While vegetables roast, gently unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll out if needed to smooth creases. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Score pastry edges about 1 inch from the edge, being careful not to cut through, to create a raised border.
  6. Mix shredded cheddar and softened cream cheese until smooth. Spread evenly inside the scored border on the pastry.
  7. Once vegetables are roasted and slightly cooled, arrange them attractively on top of the cheese layer.
  8. Brush exposed pastry border with beaten egg for a golden, shiny crust.
  9. Bake tart for 20–25 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  10. Let tart cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and chili flakes if desired.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when roasting vegetables to ensure caramelization. Use a light hand when applying egg wash to avoid soggy pastry edges. Roasting vegetables ahead of time saves preparation time. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute cheeses with plant-based alternatives and use vegan puff pastry. Gluten-free crust options include cauliflower or almond flour crusts.
