Equipment

  • mandolin
  • sheet pan
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons feta crumbles
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 cup sweet potato (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup zucchini (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup tomato (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prep Your Vegetables: Use a mandoline to thinly slice the sweet potato, zucchini, and tomato. (Feel free to swap in other favorites like bell peppers or mushrooms!) Thin slices ensure quick, even cooking.
  • Make the Ricotta Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and thyme until smooth and creamy.
  • Prepare the Puff Pastry Base: Roll out the puff pastry onto a baking sheet. Trim ½ inch off the edges to create strips and set them aside. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the pastry base.
  • Add the Veggies: Arrange the sliced veggies in a decorative pattern on top of the ricotta layer—alternating colors for a festive look. Drizzle the vegetables with a little bit of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.
  • Top with Feta Crumbles:Sprinkle feta crumbles over the arranged veggies for a tangy, salty kick that complements the creamy and savory flavors.
  • Create a Puff Edge: Use the reserved pastry strips to frame the tart edges. Optional: brush the edges with egg wash for a golden brown finish.
  • Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden, and the veggies are tender.
