olive oil 2 tbsp

garlic 3 cloves, bashed

butter 50g

maple syrup 4 tbsp

rosemary a few sprigs

gruyère 50g

dolcelatte 50g

double cream 100ml

ground white pepper

• Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Cut all the veg into 1.5cm-thick discs. Toss with the olive oil and garlic, and spread out on a large baking tray. Roast for 30-35 minutes or until just tender and starting to colour at the edges.

• Take the veg out of the oven and turn it up to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.

• Melt the butter and maple syrup together in a pan over a low heat, then pour into the bottom of a non-stick rectangular baking tray (approximately 26cm x 36cm) and spread to cover. Sprinkle over some rosemary then arrange the veg in a single layer.

• Join the two pieces of pastry together to make one large sheet, sticking with a little egg. Drape the pastry over the veg, trimming and tucking in the sides (freeze the trimmings for later). Use a knife to make a few holes in the pastry for the steam to escape. Glaze again with egg then put in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until puffed and golden.

• Leave to cool for 5 minutes then carefully flip onto a large board and cut into sections.

• While the tart is cooling, make the cheese sauce. Put all the ingredients in a pan and heat gently until the cheese has melted. Season with white pepper and serve with the tart.
