How to caramelize zucchini
What else is in this Zucchini & Onion Tart?
Caramelized Zucchini & Onion Tart
A great way to use your garden fresh summer vegetables, with Gruyere and puff pastry dough
Ingredients
- 1 package (2 sheets) of frozen puff pastry dough
- 6 cups zucchini ribbons (2-3 medium sized zucchini)
- 1 Vidalia onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 4 cups Gruyere cheese grated
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Instructions
- Cut the onion into very thin slices. Finely mince the garlic.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, zucchini and onions and cook until carmelized, about 20-25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the puff pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, smoothing the seams together until it measures about 9×13. Bake the pastry for 15 minutes and remove from oven. It will be puffed up high, so run a rolling pin over it to flatten it back out.
- Layer 1/2 of the cheese, then the vegetables, then 1/2 of the cheese onto the pastry. Garnish with zucchini blossoms if you have them. Return to the oven for 10 more minutes. Slice and serve warm.

I’m surprised there aren’t any ratings on your recipe. I have six zucchini laying on my counter, daring me to try something new, and this recipe is it! I’m gluten free, so will make a GF pizza crust, and I know this is going to be outstanding. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yay! The gluten free crust will be perfect! Can’t wait for you to try it. 🙂
