Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the beetroot and onion with the oil, honey and vinegar, then season. Tip into a 20cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan. Cover with foil and roast in the oven for 45-50 mins until the beetroot is tender. Remove from the oven and scatter over the butter and thyme.

  • step 2

    Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin, then cut out a circle slightly larger than the frying pan, about 25cm (you can use a dinner plate as a guide). Lay the pastry over the beetroot mixture in the pan, and tuck it in around the edge using a cutlery knife or spatula. Bake for 50-60 mins, or until golden brown and puffed up.

  • step 3

    Run a knife around the edge of the pastry to loosen, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Scatter over the pecans and cheese to finish.

question

Should the beetroot be cooked before putting in the tart?

question

What other cheese would go well with this recipe? I'm not a big fan of Wensleydale. I really would like to try this as I am always looking for vegetarian recipes for my daughter when she comes to visit.

Hi, thanks for your question. This would go well with any crumbly cheese - you could try a goats' cheese, feta or a crumbly blue cheese such as Stilton. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

Is the timing for making stage 2 correct? Generally for puff pastry it cooks in around 10 to 20 minutes. Is 50 to 60 minutes correct?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes 50-60 mins is correct for this recipe. The pastry on a tatin can take quite a while to crisp up - this cooking time ensures it gets nice and crisp and golden. If it is looking a little dark at any point then just cover loosely with foil to prevent it burning. Best…

question

Can this be prepared in advance and frozen? Also can it be made in a heavy non stick 20cm deep cake tin rather than a frying pan?

Hi - Adam from the Good Food cookery team here - Yes you could roast of all the beetroots etc before and then freeze. You could also use a 20cm cake tin - I would line with baking paper to stop any juices from escaping. Thanks
