How to make this savory vegetable galette
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix the almond flour, cornmeal, tapioca flour, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Add the flax egg, iced water, and soy milk and fold into the dry ingredients to get a smooth mixture. Use your hands to bring the dough together. It should form into a ball relatively easily.
Transfer the dough to a parchment paper on a working surface. Use a rolling pin to roll it into a 9-inch circle and transfer it with the parchment paper over a baking sheet. (If the dough cracks too much, add more liquid a little at a time).
Spread ¾ cup ricotta into an even layer over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Arrange the sliced vegetables into a single layer, then fold the border over the ricotta and veggies to create a galette shape. (Make sure not to overfill! If you sense it’s too crowded, reduce the amount of veggies you add.)
Add the rest of the ricotta in small spoonfuls on top of the vegetables, then drizzle the balsamic vinegar and top with the fresh herbs and pine nuts.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy and the vegetables are cooked through.
Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

FAQs & tips
Tips for rolling the dough
If the dough is sticking, use a tiny bit of almond flour on the rolling pin. The shape doesn’t have to be a perfect circle! Just try your best to get a uniform shape.
What can I use instead of tapioca flour?
If you don’t have tapioca flour, you can use cornstarch, potato starch, cassava flour, or arrowroot powder! We haven’t tested these out, but they are all similar thickening agents with mild to no flavor.
Can I use different veggies?
Yes! Check out our serving suggestions! Just make sure they are cut uniformly so that it cooks evenly. Our savory vegetable galette is definitely customizable

Do you think a cashew cream
would work in place of the vegan ricotta?
yes that would probably taste great! Just make sure the cream is not too runny. Let us know how it turns out :)
This looks both beautiful and delicious. Thanks so much for the recipe; I’m going to make it soon!
