Ingredients

Servings

For the veggies:

  • 1 cup cubed ½ to ¾ inch parsnip
  • 3 cups cubed about ¾ inch butternut squash
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic minced, large clove
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • Pinch nutmeg ground

For the tart:

  • 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese strained if watery
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • teaspoon salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary minced fresh
  • 1 puff pastry thawed according to package directions, sheet, frozen
  • ¼ cup green onion thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup pecan chopped, raw

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

For the veggies:

  1. Add the parsnip and butternut squash to a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Toss to combine and spread in an even layer. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until tender and starting to brown. Remove from the oven, season with additional salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
  2. Maintain the oven temperature.

For the tart:

  1. Add the ricotta, olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary to the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle lightly with flour. Set the puff pastry on the baking sheet and roll out to about ¼ inch in thickness.
  3. Bake the pastry for about 12 to 15 minutes in the 400ºF oven, until light golden brown and puffy. Remove from the oven and carefully press down the center of the pastry a little bit with the back of a spoon, leaving a border around the edge, so the topping has a place to sit.
  4. Drop the ricotta in spoonfuls over the tart, then gently use a spatula to spread into an even layer. Top evenly with the roasted veggies.
  5. Return to the oven and bake for about 7 to 10 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown. Sprinkle with the green onions and pecans. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

  • About 1 small parsnip (peeled and cubed) will yield the 1 cup amount.
  • About 1 small butternut squash will yield the 3 cup amount. You may have a touch extra.
