During the late fall and winter months i’d swap the heirloom tomatoes for some crispy roasted broccoli, cauliflower wings, or nutty butternut squash alongside the caramelized onions and fried sage.If there is one thing you need to make this holiday season, it’s this healthy and delicious tart filled with a creamy and light dairy free ricotta filling and topped with thin slices of acorn squash. Topping ideas – grilled vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini rounds, basil pesto, vegan feta or mozzarella and fresh herbs like parsley and thyme.Storage – any leftovers can be refrigerated in lidded containers and enjoyed cold or reheated under the broiler or a toaster oven.The pie crust can also be frozen and thawed out in the fridge the night before using it. Make ahead – prepare the crust, cashew ricotta and caramelized onions a couple of days in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.Bake – Preheat your oven to 400″F and bake the tomato tarts for about 35 minutes or so until golden brown.(Optional- brush the edges with some aquafaba or olive oil if desired). Fold the edges over the pie patching it if it breaks. Top with half of the caramelized onion and finish with a layer of tomato slices.

Start by spreading 1/4 cup or so of cashew ricotta over the bottom of each crust leaving one inch of space at the edges.

Assemble the tart – place the tart with the parchment paper on top of a baking sheet.

Refrigerate for about 20 minutes until it sets a bit. Use a rolling pin to go over the top and roll it out into 1/8 inch thick rounds. Place each dough ball in between two pieces of parchment paper (aprox 16 inch square) and press it down into a disk. Cut the dough in half and form two balls.

Pour in the cold water and mix it in with a spoon until a dough is formed.

Quickly work the butter into the flour until it resembles wet sand.

Make the tart crust – add the flour to a mixing bowl and grate the chilled butter over the flour.

Prepare the cashew ricotta– this is best done a day in advance so it can be completely chilled and thickened up.

Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt and cook down stirring often until caramelized, about 45 minutes.

Caramelize the onions – Preheat an extra large skillet over medium low heat with a drizzle of olive oil.

A layer of chive pesto makes for a lovely alternative.

Cashew ricotta cheese – this creamy fromage frais is totally optional but recommended, makes a great canvas for the caramelized onions to sink into and results in a more filling tart.

Go for different sizes and a mix of colors layering the largest slices on the bottom and topping with smaller ones.

Heirloom tomatoes – the best tasting of all tomatoes, sweet not acidic, without a doubt the best tomatoes for tart, focaccia and bruschetta.

They are perfect on so many other things besides this tart.

Caramelized onions– use your biggest skillet and double batch it.
