Vegetable Tart Tatin Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 puff pastry, thawed
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 pound mixed vegetables (such as carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, and onions), sliced thinly
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into a circle that is slightly larger than a 9-inch skillet. Place the puff pastry in the fridge until ready to use.
3. In a 9-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the vegetables and sauté until they are almost tender, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Mix the sugar and water together in a small bowl, then pour it over the vegetables in the skillet. Allow the mixture to cook for a few minutes, until the sugar has caramelized and turned a deep amber color.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the vegetables. Carefully place the puff pastry over the top of the vegetables, tucking it down around the edges of the skillet.
6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Remove the skillet from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
7. Invert the skillet onto a plate, so that the tart tatin is now right side up. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Serve immediately.

Verdict

This vegetable tart tatin is a delicious and impressive dish that’s perfect for any occasion. The sweet and savory combination of the caramelized vegetables and puff pastry is simply irresistible. Serve it as a side dish or a main dish with a fresh green salad.
