VEGAN LENTIL TOMATO TART

Vegan lentil tomato tart

A creative way to use lentils

Hi there! I’m eating with my eyes first for a moment…aren’t these tomatoes pretty? This vegan lentil tomato tart doesn’t just look pretty, it tastes delicious too with a lot of umami flavor and buttery crust (without butter ofc). It’s easy to make, and kid-friendly in every way – not too spicy but definitely not boring & flavorless either 😉

Kid-friendly lentil tart

I got the idea for this tart when I was making Lemony lentil taco salad which is one of my favorite salads ever and also loved by my four year old son who has previously not been a huge lentil fan. I wanted a comforting meal which would be simple to make for family lunch or picnic.

In my opinion lentils are not the prettiest food on their own, so they definitely required a colorful pair: tomatoes in bright colors. I’m so happy tomato season is here, as these thinly sliced red and yellow tomatoes have just the right kind of rich umami flavor that I often crave. If you’re craving comforting flavors too, here’s the recipe for you ♄

Love,

Tiina
