Carrot and Beetroot Quiche Ingredients & Tips<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to make this roasted vegetable quiche recipe:<\/p>\n

Root vegetables \u2014<\/strong> I love the combination of carrots and beetroot, however you could also make this with only beets, or mix things up a little and make it with carrots, parsnips and beets. All three taste wonderfully delicious when roasted in the oven. Vinegar and brown sugar, bring out even more of their natural sweetness and make all the flavours pop!<\/p>\n

Red onion –<\/strong> is mild and delicate and doesn\u2019t require a long cooking so is a perfect addition for adding flavour and color.<\/p>\n

Pine nuts –<\/strong> add a next level incredibly tasty and nutty flavour, which is further enhanced by lightly toasting them before adding them to this vegetable quiche.<\/p>\n

Eggs and milk \u2013<\/strong> Creates the custard filling. As a non-milk drinker, I use unsweetened soy milk, but you could also sub whole or reduced fat milk for the almond milk if you like.<\/p>\n

Goat cheese \u2013<\/strong> Adds tangy flavour to the filling. If you prefer, it could also be replaced with Greek feta.<\/p>\n

Store-bought pie crust \u2013<\/strong> a store-bought pie \/ tart crust speeds things up and makes this quiche recipe easier to prepare, however you\u2019ll still need to blind bake it. More on that in the recipe! Otherwise, use your own favourite pie crust recipe. Try adding fresh thyme leaves to the dough for extra savouriness (like I do in this mushroom quiche recipe).<\/p>\n

Tips for the roasted vegetables<\/h2>\n

Freshness is key for the best tasting vegetable quiche. Select carrots and beet that are firm. If you are buying beets at your weekly farmers market<\/a> look for a bunch of beets with their crisp leaves attached \u2014 the leaves are edible and terrific prepared like spinach, in soups or in a stir-fry. Fresh carrot greens can also be used to make a delicious pesto or just like parsley in salads like tabouleh.<\/p>\n

Both the beets and carrots can be prepared in advance \u2014 time saver! \u2014 once roasted they will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-3 days.<\/p>\n
