• Basil and oregano, to taste
• Salt and pepper, to taste

PREPARATION

1. Preheat the oven to 345°F.
2. Create 2 flax “eggs” by mixing the flax meal with the warm water. Set aside for 10 minutes.
3. Place all the ingredients for the base layer in a blender and mix until combined (you should get a crumbly dough).
4. Grease a 9-inch springform with coconut oil (or any other oil) and spread out the dough evenly on the bottom and the sides.
5. Put the springform in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes.
6. In the meantime, place all the ingredients for the filling in the blender and mix until smooth.
7. Cut the vegetables into thin, wide strips using a mandoline or potato peeler.
8. When the crust is ready, let it cool down a bit and spread the filling evenly on top.
9. Preheat the oven to 375°F and assemble the vegetables.
10. Roll up the first strip of your vegetable, place it in the center of the tart, and press it down. Wrap the other vegetable strips around it, pressing down, and continue until the whole tart is filled up.
11. Brush with some olive oil and let bake for about 15-20 minutes.
