Ingredients

The following ingredients have 32 Servings
  • Tarte Tatins
  • 2 pounds carrots (about 4 large peeled and sliced into 1/8 inch rounds)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2/3 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 14 oz sheet of puff pastry (thawed and pricked all over with a fork)
  • Herb Butter
  • 4 oz 1 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp minced rosemary
  • 1 Tbsp minced parsley
  • 1 Tbsp minced thyme
  • 1 lemon (zested)
  • Salt and pepper
  • *mini muffin trays

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Make the herb butter: Mix all the ingredients together until well blended. You will have leftover herb butter than can be refrigerated or frozen to use another time.
  • Toss carrot slices with olive oil, salt and pepper and arrange on a parchment or non-stick foil lined sheet pan.
  • Scatter the rosemary and thyme over the top and roast until tender, about 20 mins. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees after you remove the carrots.
  • While carrots are roasting, combine the sugars and water and stir over high heat until sugar is dissolved.
  • Cook the sugar until it reaches a deep amber, about 8 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar.
  • Spray the mini muffin trays with non-stick spray and pour one tsp of caramel sauce into the bottom of each cup.
  • Layer about 4 pieces of roasted carrot into each cup and sprinkle with a 1/2 tsp of parmesan and a 1/4 tsp of the herb butter.
  • Cut out 32 rounds of puff pastry with a 1 1/2 inch (fluted if you have it) cookie cutter.
  • Place the pastry rounds on the top of the carrots and press down slightly.
  • Bake at 400 degrees until puffed and golden, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove the pan, allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, then place another sheet pan over the top and flip, giving the tray a good knock.
  • Remove the muffin tray and replace any carrots that stuck to the pan.
  • The tartlets can be served warm or room temperature.
