Rainbow Beet & Zucchini Spiral Tart

Want a showstopping tart that looks straight out of a luxury bakery window?

Ingredients
Puff Pastry Base

1 sheet all-butter puff pastry, thawed

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon olive oil

Whipped Feta Layer

7 ounces feta cheese

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 small garlic clove

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Black pepper, to taste

Vegetable Spiral

1 medium red beet, peeled and very thinly sliced or shaved into ribbons

1 small green zucchini, sliced into thin ribbons

1 small yellow zucchini, sliced into thin ribbons

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon dried thyme

Pinch of salt

Pinch of black pepper

Garnish

Fresh dill

Fresh chives

A little lemon zest, optional

Flaky sea salt, optional

Golden puff pastry, silky whipped feta, and colorful vegetable ribbons come together in a tart that is crisp, creamy, and absolutely Pinterest-perfect.

Instructions
🥬 Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking tray or tart pan with parchment paper.
🧈 Unroll the puff pastry and gently place it into a round tart pan or trim it into a neat circle on a baking sheet.
✂️ Score a 1-inch border around the edge without cutting all the way through, then prick the center lightly with a fork.
🥚 Brush the border with beaten egg so it bakes up glossy and beautifully golden.
🧀 Add the feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, chives, and black pepper to a food processor.
✨ Blend until smooth, creamy, and whipped. Chill briefly while preparing the vegetables.
🥒 Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to make long thin ribbons from the green zucchini and yellow zucchini.
❤️ Slice or shave the beet into very thin ribbons as well. If your beet is very firm, microwave the ribbons for 30–45 seconds to soften them slightly for easier rolling.
🥣 In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
🌈 Toss the beet, green zucchini, and yellow zucchini ribbons very gently in the dressing so they become flexible and flavorful.
🤍 Spread the whipped feta mixture evenly over the center of the puff pastry, keeping the border clear.
🌀 To build the spiral, roll one beet ribbon into a tight little coil. Wrap a green zucchini ribbon around it, then a yellow zucchini ribbon, alternating colors as you go.
🎯 Keep wrapping the ribbons around the center until you form one large spiral wide enough to cover the tart.
🥧 Carefully place the giant vegetable spiral onto the whipped feta layer. Tuck in extra ribbons wherever needed to fill the surface neatly.
🔥 Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and deeply golden, the vegetables are tender, and the feta underneath is warm and slightly creamy.
🌿 Let the tart rest for 5–10 minutes, then finish with fresh dill, chives, lemon zest, and a little flaky salt if desired.
🔪 Slice with a sharp knife to reveal the beautiful red, green, and yellow spiral layers inside.
