Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
- Prepare your baking dish. You will need a round ovenproof dish that is approximately 9-10 inches in diameter.
- Spread the pumpkin chunks evenly in a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Lightly spray the pumpkin with the cooking spray oil.
- Roast the pumpkin in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are just tender and slightly golden.
- While the pumpkin is roasting, place a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add a short spray of cooking oil to the skillet and then add the sliced onions.
- Cook the onions for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and starting to caramelize.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the garlic is fragrant but not burned.
- In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and vinegar.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes a smooth caramel sauce. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Once the sauce is ready, remove it from the heat.
- Pour the caramel sauce evenly into the base of your baking dish.
- Arrange the roasted pumpkin pieces and caramelized onions in the caramel sauce. Try to create an even layer without too many gaps.
- Place one sheet of puff pastry over the vegetable mixture, gently pressing it down to cover all the filling. Trim excess pastry.
- If you prefer a thicker crust, you can place the second sheet of puff pastry on top of the first, pressing down and trimming the excess once more.
- Place the assembled tarte tatin in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
- Once baked, remove the tarte tatin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully invert the baking dish onto a serving plate, making sure to allow the caramelized pumpkin and onions to come out cleanly.
- Serve warm. This tart pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad and a tangy vinaigrette.
Tips:
- Ensure the pumpkin is cut into even pieces for uniform cooking.
- Caramelize the onions and garlic slowly to develop deep, rich flavors.
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets in the refrigerator until pliable but still cold to handle.
- Press the puff pastry gently but firmly over the pumpkin and onions to avoid air pockets.
- Allow the tarte tatin to rest for a few minutes after baking before inverting to ensure it holds its shape.
With its beautifully caramelized topping and flaky puff pastry, the Pumpkin & red onion tarte tatin is sure to be a favorite addition to your recipe repertoire. Follow these tips for best results, and enjoy this elegant and savory dish that brings a taste of autumn to your table.
