Instructions
  1. Place a puff pastry sheet over a greased tart pan, trim and press to fit. Line with parchment paper and fill with weights.
  2. Bake the tart dough at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper and let it cool.
  3. In a large bowl, add the eggs, ricotta, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, Italian vinaigrette, and salt. Use a spoon or mixer till everything is evenly mixed and smooth.
  4. With a potato peeler or a mandolin, create lengthwise strips of zucchini and carrots.
  5. Place the vegetable slices in a bowl, add garlic powder. Stir and cook in the microwave for 3-5 minutes. This step will soften the slices and make them much easier to roll.
  6. Spread the cheese mixture on top of the tart base.
  7. Take one slice of a vegetable and roll it up very tightly. Add another slice and keep rolling. Do not exceed more than 3 slices per spiral or the vegetable cooking will be uneven.
  8. Place the vegetable spiral in the center of the tart, pushing it down into the cheese. Continue this process until the tart is sufficiently covered
  9. Brush olive oil on top of the vegetables and bake the tart at 375 degrees F for 30-40 minutes.
