Ingredients

  • 2

    large beets

  • 1

    puff pastry

  • ⅔
    cup ricotta

  • 1

    tbsp honey, plus more for drizzling 

  • 1

    tbsp fresh thyme 

Directions

  • 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Wrap beets individually in foil and place in oven. Roast for 45 minutes or until tender.

    Once cooled, remove the peel with your hands. With a knife, dice the beets into small cubes.

    Reset oven to 400°F. Slice the puff pastry into 9 squares, and press them into muffin tins.

    Pierce the bottoms repeatedly with a fork and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden. If the center of the puff pastries come out raised, simply press them down with your fingers.

    In a bowl, combine ricotta, honey, and a pinch of salt. Transfer the ricotta to a Ziploc®  bag. With scissors, cut off one corner of the bag and pipe the ricotta into the center of the puff pastry tarts.
