Method
Preparation
- Prepare a batch of no-fail pie crust and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Trim ends of zucchini, yellow squash, and carrots. Slice vegetables into long, thin strips.
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease a 9-inch tart pan and roll out the dough slightly larger than the pan. Press into the pan, trim excess, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Line tart shell with parchment and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Remove weights and parchment; allow crust to cool.
Assembling the Tart
- In a food processor, combine sundried tomatoes, basil, and garlic. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and puree until spreadable. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the pesto evenly over the cooled crust. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top, if using.
- Brush or dip each vegetable strip in remaining olive oil. Roll a strip into a spiral at the center of the tart, continuing with the remaining strips in concentric circles.
- Brush the vegetable tops with remaining olive oil, then sprinkle salt, pepper, and chopped herbs over the tart.
Baking
- Bake at 350 °F for 45 to 50 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Let the tart cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
