Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour and water until smooth. This will form a batter.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the batter along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced red onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Include the mushrooms, garlic, and thyme, and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Grease a tart tin or a shallow round baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
Pour half of the chickpea batter into the prepared tart tin, spreading evenly.
Layer the sautéed vegetables on top of the batter.
Drizzle the remaining batter over the vegetable layer, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle nutritional yeast over the top for a cheesy flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the tart is firm and slightly golden on top.
Allow the tart to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
