Serves: 4

Ready in: 60 minutes

Ingredients

500g raw beetroot

100ml clear honey

2 tsp olive oil

Squeeze orange juice

320g puff pastry sheet

15g shelled hazelnuts

25g soft goat’s cheese from Becketts Deli

Rocket or spinach to serve

Method

Pre heat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Line a roasting tin with foil. Finely slice the beetroot, evenly layer the roasting tin with the sliced beetroot and drizzle with the honey, oil and orange juice. Cover with foil and roast for 25 minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, put the pastry on a baking sheet. Using a fork prick the pastry all over and bake on the shelf below the beetroot for 20 minutes. Remove, then put another baking sheet on top to gently flatten the pastry.

Remove the beetroot from the oven and uncover the pastry. Using a flat utensil put the beetroot on top of the pastry (leaving a 2cm border). Drizzle over any juices. Chop the hazelnuts and crumble the goat’s cheese, then scatter over the tart. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.

Serve with your choice of spinach leaves or rocket scattered over the top.
