Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold water
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large bell pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 large onion
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the olive oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Slice the zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and cherry tomatoes. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and bell pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.
Remove the skillet from heat and add the balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, and black pepper, tossing to coat.
Spread the cooked vegetables onto the prepared dough, leaving a 1.5-inch border. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed to make a rustic edge.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Let the tart cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
