Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Yellow squash
• 1 small Eggplant
• 3 medium Roma tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry sheet
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 3 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Defrost the puff pastry sheet according to package instructions. Once pliable, roll it out slightly and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Thinly slice the zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, Roma tomatoes, and red onion into uniform, 1/4-inch rounds. Set them aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the tomato paste, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 5

Arrange the sliced vegetables on top of the tomato base in alternating, overlapping concentric rows or patterns. You can mix and match the vegetable order for a colorful display.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 7

Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to form a rustic border, pinching the corners to seal.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, and the pastry is golden brown.

Step 9

Once out of the oven, sprinkle the tart with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil leaves.

Step 10

Let the tart cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a perfect rustic Provençal meal.
