Description

A beautiful and flavorful autumn tart featuring caramelized butternut squash, pure maple syrup, tangy goat cheese, and fresh thyme on a flaky puff pastry crust.


Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
3 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed (1/2 inch)
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, salt, pepper, and half of the fresh thyme.
Step 3: Spread the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized at the edges.
Step 4: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle. Transfer to another parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5: Score a 1-inch border around the edge of the pastry with a knife, taking care not to cut all the way through. Prick the center area with a fork.
Step 6: Arrange the roasted butternut squash evenly within the border of the pastry. Top with crumbled goat cheese and chopped pecans.
Step 7: Brush the border of the pastry with the beaten egg wash. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Step 8: Remove from the oven, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and garnish with the remaining fresh thyme before slicing.

Notes

Ensure the puff pastry is cold when it goes into the oven for the flakiest results.
