Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry approximately 8–9 oz
  • 4 medium carrots peeled and sliced into thin ribbons
  • 3 oz soft goat cheese
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: fresh arugula for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the carrot ribbons with olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Roast on a separate baking sheet for about 8–10 minutes, just until beginning to soften.
  • In a small bowl, whip the goat cheese with the Greek yogurt and lemon zest until smooth and spreadable.
  • Unfold the puff pastry onto the lined baking sheet. Spread the whipped chèvre over the center, leaving a 1-inch border.
  • Arrange the carrot ribbons over the cheese, folding and overlapping them for a slightly rustic appearance.
  • Fold the pastry edges inward and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the carrots are tender.
  • Drizzle lightly with honey and finish with a few fresh thyme leaves.
  • Serve warm with a little arugula dressed in lemon and olive oil.
    Who knew a few carrots could feel so wonderfully French?
