Preparation

For the tart:

Step 1


Step 1 Heat oven to 425. Layout puff pastry on parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a knife, score a border around the perimeter of the  puff pastry, about a ¼ inch away from the edge. Prick the pastry with a fork inside the border so it doesn’t puff too much! Bake  pastry until lightly golden about 15-20 min. Let cool slightly.



Step 2


While pastry is baking, toss carrots with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread into a single layer on a baking sheet and roast until  edges are golden brown, 15 minutes.



Step 3


While puff pastry and carrots are in the oven, blend ricotta, feta and garlic in food processor until smooth. Add salt and pepper.



Step 4

Spread the cheese mixture on the puff pastry up to the border and arrange carrots in a single layer on top. Bake until the edges are  golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.


Step 5  

Drop dollops of carrot-top pesto on top and sprinkle with herbs before serving.
