Carmelized Onion and Sweet Potato Tarte with Goat Cheese







Ingredients
1 medium sized sweet potato
2 large onions
Coconut oil
Goat Cheese
Pie Crust (I used Wholly Wholesome Whole Wheat Pie Crust)

Recipe

Before we assemble the tarte we have to ready the ingredients that will go into the tarte. If you're using a frozen pie crust (like I did), take the pie crust out of refrigerator to let it come to room temperature.

Next we prepare the sweet potato. Set the oven to 425 degrees Farenheit. There's no need really to preheat it. Just pinch the sweet potato about 3 times with a fork to let some steam out while its baking and pop the sweet potato in the oven directly on the rack. Leave it in for about 30 mins.

While you're waiting for that sweet potato to bake a bit. We'll caramelize the onions. To caramelize the onions, first slice the onions in nice long pieces. Try to get them as even as possible so that they will cook more evenly too.





Heat up your skillet or saucepan to medium high heat and add about a tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the sliced onions to your pan and let them get coated completely in the coconut oil. Make sure you're moving them around frequently so that the onions do not burn. Towards the end you could bring down the heat to medium. Add any additional coconut oil as you feel is needed. This will help make sure it doesn't burn ;) At the end your caramelized onions should looks something like this!



Now that we have the ingredients prepped, we're ready to assemble to tarte to go into the oven. Cut the sweet potato into chunks and mash the chunks down with a fork as the first layer onto of the pie crust.




 Add some goat cheese sprinkled in liberally in there.





Then add a layer of all the caramelized onion. Finish with a few more chunks of sweet potato cubes cut in half this time to by a bit thinner and add a final sprinkle of goat cheese on top.




Then place your tarte into the oven at 350 degrees Farenheit for about 45 mins. Take it out of the oven and let cool before serving.




Enjoy!! :)
