Carrot Tarte Tatin
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) convection.
- 2Peel and cut 6 carrots lengthways.
- 3Place the carrots in the oven and roast until they are tender but still have a slight bite in the center.
- 4Once the carrots are cooked, increase the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F).
- 5In an approximately 20 cm pan (about an 8-inch skillet), combine 2 tablespoons honey, ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar (about 1½ teaspoons), and ½ tablespoon orange juice (about 1½ teaspoons).
- 6Let the mixture cook over medium-high heat without stirring until it reduces and thickens into a syrup, allowing the excess liquid to evaporate so the mixture becomes concentrated.
- 7Lower the heat to medium-low and add 2 tablespoons cold butter, stirring as it melts and emulsifies into a smooth caramel.
- 8If the caramel splits, add 1 teaspoon cold water and whisk until it comes back together.
- 9Once the caramel is smooth, stir in orange zest and fresh thyme.
- 10Arrange the roasted carrots in the pan.
- 11Cover the carrots with a sheet of puff pastry, tucking the edges down around the filling.
- 12Prick a few small holes in the pastry so steam can escape.
- 13Bake at 175°C (350°F) until the pastry is puffed and deeply golden brown.
- 14Remove the pan from the oven and let the tart rest for about 30 minutes.
- 15To serve, flip the tart out of the pan onto a plate.
- 16Finish with crumbled feta cheese, fresh thyme, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Tips
- Orange and carrot go super well together.
- If the caramel splits, add 1 teaspoon cold water and whisk until it comes back together.
- Prick a few small holes in the pastry so steam can escape.
- If the tarte is stuck, warm the pan on low heat for a little bit on the stove.
- Adding ginger to the honey, orange, and butter reduction is incredible.
