1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 red onions, sliced into rounds

2 red bell peppers, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 eggplant, sliced into rounds

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish

Preheat and Prepare:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the puff pastry to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Prick the pastry with a fork and set aside.

Caramelize the Vegetables:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, peppers, zucchini, and eggplant. Cook until they start to soften.
Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, stirring until the vegetables are coated and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble the Tarte:

Arrange the caramelized vegetables in the bottom of the baking dish or skillet. Ensure the surface is covered evenly.
Carefully place the puff pastry over the vegetables, tucking the edges down around the vegetables.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.

Serve:

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully invert the tarte onto the plate. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary.
