Serving Size and Yield

Makes approximately 8 servings.

Preparation and Cooking Time

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 sheet of vegan puff pastry
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the onions by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes. Set aside.
3. Roll out the vegan puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a tart pan. Trim any excess pastry.
4. Mix the frangipane by combining almond flour, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, miso paste, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
5. Spread the frangipane mixture evenly over the puff pastry in the tart pan.
6. Top with the caramelized onions, spreading them evenly over the frangipane layer.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the frangipane is set.
8. Cool the tart slightly before garnishing with fresh thyme leaves.
9. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Additional Notes

For a gluten-free version, ensure the puff pastry is gluten-free. You can substitute coconut oil with vegan butter if preferred. Feel free to experiment with different herbs for garnish, such as rosemary or parsley.
