Description

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry (frozen or homemade)
• ½ cup ricotta cheese or a vegan soft cheese
• 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
• Olive oil
• ¼ cup grated parmesan (normal or vegan)
• Salt and pepper
• Balsamic vinegar drizzle

Directions

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it’s about a 14x10 in rectangle and then place rolled out pastry sheet onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
• Lightly score the pastry sheet 1 inch from the edges to make a large rectangle inside of the sheet. This marks where “the crust” will be.
• Pierce the pastry sheet with a fork all over inside the rectangle. This will keep the inside part from puffing too much.
• Bake for 10-15 min or under it starts to get golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and place on the counter to cool for a minute.
• Spread the ricotta all over the inside rectangle.
• Place the asparagus on top of the ricotta.
• Brush the asparagus with olive oil until well coated.
• Sprinkle parmesan on top.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 15-20 min or until asparagus is tender. Watch carefully to make sure the puff pastry doesn’t burn.
• Remove from the oven and drizzle balsamic vinegar over the tart.
