Easy Squash, Roasted Garlic + Goat Cheese Tart
Ingredients
- 4 oz/115 grams goat cheese
- 1 medium winter squash
- 1 head roasted garlic
- 3-4 tbsp olive oil divided use
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 1 tsp kosher salt plus more for sprinkling
- Snipped chives for garnish
- Aleppo pepper for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.  Cut squash in half and scoop out seeds. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and bake 30-60 minutes, until tender when pierced with a knife (cooking time will vary depending on type and size of squash).
- Use a serrated knife to slice the top off of the head of garlic, exposing the cloves inside. Â Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over top, then wrap up in a large square of parchment paper or aluminum foil. Â Roast on pan alongside squash for about 40 minutes, until golden brown and tender.
- While squash and garlic are cooling, roll one sheet of puff pastry into a square of roughly 11" x 11". Â Position on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- When cool enough to handle, peel and mash both the squash and the garlic. Â Transfer 1 1/2 cups squash plus garlic to a medium bowl and add 1 tsp kosher salt. Â Stir until well combined. Taste and add more salt as desired.
- Spread squash mixture over puff pastry, then top with crumbled goat cheese and drizzle with more olive oil. Â Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crust is golden and puffed. Â Shower with snipped chives and a dusting of Aleppo pepper, if desired. Â Serve warm.
