Ingredients

2 sheets puff pastry frozen & thawed; approx. 1 lb / 450g total
1 large red onion sliced into 1/4-inch; 0.5 cm thick rounds
5.3 oz sun-dried tomatoes dry-packed from deli; approx. 150g
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil divided for drizzling
2 teaspoons balsamic glaze divided for drizzling
1/2 cup plant-based cheese shredded; optional; any vegan cheese; approx. 57g

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Let puff pastry sheets thaw at room temperature if still frozen.
Prepare the onion by slicing it into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Once thawed, slice each sheet into 4 even squares (for 8 total). If you prefer round tarts, use an upside-down bowl as a stencil and cut around it with a knife.
On each prepared baking sheet, drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon balsamic glaze in 8 spaced circles.
On each glaze circle, place 1 onion slice, 2–3 sun-dried tomatoes, a small pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of shredded plant-based cheese if using.
Place a piece of pastry on top of each pile, gently pressing around the edges to seal. Use a fork to lightly press the edges into the parchment paper if desired.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Let the tarts cool for 1–2 minutes. Then use a spatula to flip each one upside down, so the caramelized topping is on display. Serve immediately and enjoy!
