Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a bowl, toss the beetroot and onion in 2 tbsp of the oil, the vinegar and sugar. Add the star anise and season well. Heat the rest of the oil in a large, ovenproof non-stick frying pan, then nestle in the veg so that they cover the surface of the pan. Cover with foil and cook in the oven for 45 mins.

  • step 2

    On a well-floured surface, roll the pastry to a thickness of 0.5cm and cut out a circle the same size as your frying pan. Carefully take the pan out of the oven, remove the foil and wiggle the beets and onion around in the pan to make a compact layer. Put the pastry on top, tucking it in all around the edges, then return the pan to the oven and bake for 35 mins or until the pastry has puffed up and is a deep golden brown.

  • step 3

    Slide a palate knife around the edge of the tart, then put a plate on top of the pastry, serving side down. Flip the pan over to turn the tart out onto the plate – be careful not to burn yourself with the handle. Top with the orange zest and a sprinkle of sea salt, then serve with a peppery salad on the side.

RECIPE TIPS
USE THE PASTRY OFFCUTS

Make vegan ‘cheesy’ straws with any pastry offcuts. Sprinkle mustard powder, nutritional yeast, salt and paprika on the puff pastry strips, twizzle into a corkscrew and bake in a hot oven until crispy and golden brown. Will keep for a week in an airtight container.

TURNING OUT THE TART

If the tart doesn’t turn out, don’t panic. Just leave the pastry on the plate, and use a spoon or spatula to scrape out the beets and onions and arrange them on top.

MAKE IT GLUTEN-FREE

You can easily make this tart gluten-free by using gluten-free flour and gluten-free pastry.

Wow, soooo simple and delicious. First time ever preparing raw beetroot (usually I just get the premade stuff from the supermarket) but still easy - if you are new to it just read this website's info on beetroot and how to prepare. I didn't peel. Don't skimp on the orange zest at the end - game…

I made this using home grown beetroot and it is so tasty. My personal choice would be a bit more red onion (because I love caramelised onion) and cutting the beetroot a bit smaller. Day 2 I cooked it in the air fryer for 5 mins at 180 then added some goats cheese for another 5 mins. Delicious!!! A 5…
