Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash all the vegetables thoroughly.
- Slice the zucchini, red pepper, red onion, and tomatoes into even, bite-sized pieces.
- Place the sliced vegetables on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the vegetables to ensure they're evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to fit your tart pan or baking tray.
- Transfer the puff pastry to the tart pan or lay it flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Prick the base of the puff pastry with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.
- Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the base of the puff pastry.
- Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the ricotta, distributing them evenly for a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up around the edges.
- Check during baking to ensure the crust does not over-brown; if it browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Cut into slices and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) before you begin preparing the ingredients.
- Chop the zucchini, red pepper, and red onion into even pieces to ensure they roast evenly.
- Roast the vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Brush the puff pastry with a bit of olive oil or egg wash for a beautiful, golden crust.
- Allow the roasted vegetables to cool slightly before adding them to the puff pastry to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Feel free to add other herbs and spices such as thyme, rosemary, or garlic for extra flavor.
