Roasted Vegetable Tarts

I made these yummy tarts for the first time the other night when having some friends over for dinner. Now, all us women know that many of the guys in our lives would happily pass on the vegetables at dinner. This is a great way to get them to eat them and like it as it combines vegetables with a dinner roll or biscuit. You can use any combination of vegetables when making your tart, but my recommendation is below. Happy eating!

  • 1/2 cusp cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tsp fresh thyme
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 T balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Dice the vegetables and place into a bowl in the microwave. Cook on high heat for 30 seconds.

  • Using 2 full-size muffin tins, lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Unroll the refrigerator rolls/bisquits and separate. Bisquits generally have 10. You will cut the thicker bisquits in half to make 12.
  • Put into bottom of muffin tins and press down.
  • Add a heaping tablespoon of the vegetable mix to each muffin tin.
  • Sprinkle with a little extra salt and pepper.
  • Add a small amount of shredded cheese to the top of each.

Ideas

  • Other vegetables – this would be great with some diced red or yellow pepper as well.
  • Why cut bisquits down? Trust me. A thinner breading at the bottom of the tarts is so much better.
  • This also makes a great appetizer.
  • You can also prepare the vegetable filling up to one day before using. Dice all the vegetables, heat in microwave, drain excess liquid, refrigerate.
