Yes, you can boil and blanch the potatoes, cauliflower, and peas in advance, then drain and store them in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.

What kind of vegan puff pastry should I use for this tart?

The recipe suggests using a premade vegan puff pastry sheet, ensuring it's thawed according to package instructions before use.

How can I make this savory tart spicier?

You can increase the heat by using a spicier marinara sauce or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce before spreading it on the pastry.

How to Prepare Savory Vegetable Puff Tart [Vegan]

If using premade puff pastry, thaw the puff pastry sheet according to package instructions.
In a small pot of salted water, boil the potatoes, cauliflower, and peas, draining each once cooked and blanching them in a bowl of cold water and ice. Drain and set aside. Slice the potatoes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a medium baking tray with foil. Transfer the thawed pastry sheet to the prepared tray.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry sheet to form a 1-inch lip all around. Spread the marinara at the center in an even layer.
Arrange the vegetables in a single layer, as creatively as possible. Top with dill.
Brush the outer lip of pastry with milk wash. Spray/brush the tops of vegetables with oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. If adding vegan goat cheese, do it now, and bake for a further 5 minutes. Then broil for 2-5 minutes until the tops are slightly charred.
Optionally, you can also caramelize the tops over with a blow torch.
Let cool slightly before garnishing. Slice and serve hot.
