Jump to Recipe

This simple puff pastry tomato heart tart is ready in 20 minutes and couldn’t be easier to make! Layered with a quick spiced red pesto, fresh tomatoes, olives and vegan cheese it’s full of flavour with minimal effort. Perfect for a fuss-free romantic night in with your love, or a blissful night to yourself.

tomato heart tart vegan

This tart is one of my favourites to make as it is a real lazy and delicious way to make a savoury tart. If a margherita pizza and vegetable tart had a love child, this would be it. Not just for a romantic meal, it’s a fun tart to make with little ones and great for lunchboxes too.

The spiced red pesto is packed with sundried tomatoes and warming spices, giving this tart a little kick of sweet, smoky heat, so good! It comes together in less than five minutes and the recipe makes enough for a small jar, so you’ll have some left over for other dishes too. I use mine in pasta, soups, stews and risotto! You can also freeze any you don’t use into ice cube trays for future use. 

Reasons you’ll love this tomato tart – 

  • SO simple to prepare
  • No need to make pastry or dough
  • Ready in 20 minutes
  • Full of rich tomato flavour
  • Spicy, smoky and sweet

How to make it – 

First, make the spiced red pesto. Simply add sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, herbs, garlic, olive oil, spices and salt to a food processor and mix for a few minutes. 

Allow your puff pastry to come to room temperature and roll out your puff pastry. Cut out a large heart shape and brush with olive oil.

Spread over a generous amount of spiced red pesto and top with vegan cheese, cherry tomatoes, olives and thyme. Bake on a lined cookie sheet or pizza tray for 15-20 minutes until puffed up and golden. It’s that simple!

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 15 mins
Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

Spiced red pesto

  • 250 grams sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • 4 tbsp pine nuts
  • 5 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 100 ml olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Tart

  • 320 grams puff pastry block or pre rolled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Topping

  • 100 grams vegan cheese block of choice
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 50 grams stoned black olives, halved
  • 8-10 fresh sprigs of thyme
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200•c and line a pizza tray or large baking sheet with baking paper. Remove the puff pastry from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature.
  • Prepare pesto by adding all the ingredients in to a food processor or blender and blending for 2-3 minutes.
  • Roll out the puff pastry and cut out a large heart using a butter knife. Brush olive oil over the heart and place it on the prepared pizza tray or baking sheet.
  • Spread a few tbsp of red pesto over the pastry, leaving a 2.5cm gap around the edge. Sprinkle over vegan cheese, cherry tomatoes, olives, thyme and salt and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until puffed up and starting to turn golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • This recipe makes enough for a small 300g jar of pesto. Store any you don’t use in a clean jar for up to a week in the fridge or freeze into ice cube trays for up to a month. Perfect for adding to pasta, stews, soups and risottos. 
  • Most ready made puff pastry is vegan, but do check the ingredients list to be sure. 
  • Don’t like spice? Simply leave the chilli flakes and powder out and add 1/2 tsp more smoked paprika. 
  • Don’t like olives? Leave them out altogether or add spinach, rocket, artichokes or peppers!

Strawberry cookie dough bars 🍓🍪🍫 Secretly Strawberry cookie dough bars 🍓🍪🍫 Secretly loaded with healthy ingredients, gluten, nut and dairy free! I love making bliss balls but making the dough into bars and dunking them in chocolate takes them to a whole new level 🤌 The main ingredient is chickpeas 🤯 but trust me when I say they definitely don’t taste like chickpeas - just cookie dough! Using them like this is a great way to sneak in some extra veggie protein when the sweet cravings hit. 

Strawberry cookie dough bars

- 1 can chickpeas, drained, rinsed well
- 1 cup oats (can sub gluten free oats)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or 4 tbsp agave/maple syrup
- 4 squishy dates, pitted
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp tahini or nut butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup dark choc chips
- 1/4 cup freeze dried strawberries, finely chopped

Topping

- 1 cup dark chocolate, melted
- 2 tbsp freeze dried strawberries, crushed

Add chickpeas, oats, coconut sugar, dates, flaxseed, vanilla, tahini and salt to a food processor and combine until a cookie dough is formed - add a tbsp of water if it’s too dry or a little extra ground flaxseed or oats if it’s too squishy. Stir through the choc chips and strawberries. Press into a small, lined container and set aside in the freezer for at least 1 hr to firm up.
Cut into bars, dunk in melted chocolate and top with crushed dried strawberries.
