Butternut Squash Tart with Hot Honey and Fried Sage
Appetizers
serves 8
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water
- 12 ⅛"-thick rounds peeled butternut squash
- Kosher salt
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 thinly sliced Fresno or jalapeno pepper
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup shaved Parmesan
- Fresh cracked black pepper
Method
Roll the pastry to even it out and place onto a parchment lined sheet pan.
Prick the pastry with fork. Brush the pastry with the egg wash.
Spread single slices of squash onto the pastry with just a slight overlap, leaving a 1"-border. Brush the tops with the olive oil and season with salt.
Place in Convection Steam Oven and select More > Auto-Steam Bake > Puff Pastry. Bake for 25-35 minutes until the pastry puffs turn golden brown.
Meanwhile for the chile-infused honey, combine honey in a saucepan with 2 Tbsp of water and sliced Fresno pepper.
Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes until slightly reduced.
Remove tart from oven and slice.
Arrange shaved Parmesan on top, drizzle with chile-infused honey.
