A delightful Fall Veggie and Ricotta Galette with a gluten-free option, perfect for showcasing the flavors of the season. Roasted butternut squash, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, red onion, and creamy ricotta cheese come together in a flaky crust for a savory treat.

Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour or regular all-purpose flour if not gluten-free. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced. 1/4 cup ice water. 1 cup butternut squash, peeled and cubed. 1 cup sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed. 1 cup Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved. 1 cup red onion, thinly sliced. 1 cup ricotta cheese. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 egg, beaten for egg wash.

Instructions: Put the gluten-free flour and salt or regular all-purpose flour if you don't have gluten-free flour in a food processor and blend them together. Press and hold to mix. Pulse the mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs after adding the cold diced butter. As you pulse, add ice water little by little until the dough comes together. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it into a disk. Put it in the fridge for 30 minutes after wrapping it in plastic wrap. Turn on your oven and heat it up to 375F 190C. Butternut squash, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, red onion, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh sage leaves should all be put in a large bowl and mixed together. Add pepper and salt to taste. With a little flour on the work surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Place the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add the vegetable and ricotta mixture to the dough and spread it out evenly. Leave a 2-inch border around the edges. In order to make a rustic galette, fold the dough's edges over the filling. Use the egg wash to cover the edges of the galette. Put it in an oven that has already been heated up and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are soft. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit before you serve it. Cut your Fall Veggie and Ricotta Galette into pieces, serve it, and enjoy!
