Tips for Roasted Red Pepper Asparagus Mini Tarts
Here are some tips to make sure your Roasted Red Pepper Asparagus Mini Tarts turn out amazing:
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: If you decide to use a baking sheet rather than a muffin tin, give the tarts some space on the baking sheet so they cook evenly.
- Keep an eye on them: Oven temperatures can vary, so start checking the tarts a few minutes before the recipe says they should be done.
- Let them cool slightly: This helps the filling set and makes them easier to handle.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives adds a nice touch of color and flavor.
With these tips, your tarts will be golden brown, perfectly cooked, and totally delicious!
Leftover Storage Tips
You want to keep those delicious tarts tasting their best, right? Here’s how to store your leftover Roasted Red Pepper Asparagus Mini Tarts:
- Cool them down: Let the tarts cool completely before storing. This helps prevent them from getting soggy.
- Airtight container: Place the tarts in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap.
- Fridge time: They’ll keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Reheat gently: When you’re ready to eat them, reheat them in a preheated oven at a low temperature (around 300°F or 150°C) until warmed through. This helps keep the pastry crisp.

Ingredients
- 13 ounces sheet puff pastry
- 1 Tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup onion finely chopped
- 1 cup asparagus chopped
- 1 cup roasted red peppers chopped
