Ingredients
  

  • 1 small zucchini cut into half moons 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 small eggplant cut into medium cubes
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes cut in half
  • 1/2 cup red onion cut into medium cubes
  • 1 small red bell pepper cut into medium cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme not ground
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles fat-free

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with nonstick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplant, grape tomatoes, red onion, and red bell pepper. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and sprinkle with kosher salt, ground black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well to coat the vegetables.
  3. Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast the vegetables for about 20 minutes, or until soft and browned.
  5. Once roasted, remove the vegetables and mix in the blue cheese crumbles.
  6. Roll out the pie crust into a circle about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick and place it on a second baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Spoon the vegetable and cheese mixture into the center of the pie crust, leaving a 1/2 to 1 inch edge.
  8. Fold the edge of the pie crust over the vegetables, leaving the center exposed.
  9. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until the crust is golden.
  10. Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the assembled tart before baking. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • Pairing: This tart pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or a light soup. It makes a fantastic lunch or dinner option.
  • Serve with Dips: Consider serving it with a homemade yogurt dip or a spicy salsa for added flavor.
  • Variations: Try adding nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition. Pine nuts or sunflower seeds would be delightful!
