Vegan Fennel Feta Tarts


So, so good! Never stress about what to bring to a party again because this will please almost everyone (except it’s not gluten-free, but maybe you could find or make some wheat-free puff pastry if need be). Makes 4 with leftover filling.

Ingredients:

1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced

1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced

2 leaves rainbow chard, thinly sliced (including stems, separated)

1 package, TJ’s croissant rolls

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

1/4 block, TJ’s vegan feta, crumbled

1/2 tsp dried thyme, crumbled

3 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp lemon zest + squeeze of lemon


Directions:

1. Heat oil in large cast iron pan over high heat. Add olive oil.

2. Turn flame down slightly. Add fennel, chard stems, and onions. Cook for a few minutes then turn heat down to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add chard leaves, thyme, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well and cook for 1-2 more minutes.

4. Remove dough from package. Combine 2 pieces, roll into a ball, stretch out and place on cookie sheet. Repeat for all dough.

5. Crumble some cheese onto each dough circle. Add a heaping scoop of veggie mix. Crimp sides of dough up around the edges. Sprinkle each with more cheese.

6. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes until dough is browned.
