Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp ice water
- 2 medium, peeled and diced carrots
- 2 medium, peeled and diced parsnips
- 1 medium, peeled and diced beets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp, chopped dill
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a food processor, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter; pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 tbsp ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, then chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Toss 2 medium peeled and diced carrots, 2 medium peeled and diced parsnips, and 1 medium peeled and diced beet with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tbsp chopped dill. Spread this mixture evenly over the roasted vegetables in the tart shell. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
