Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roast the prepared acorn squash until soft, about 30-40 minutes. Cool and scoop out the flesh.
Pulse almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, thyme, and salt in a food processor. Add oil, water, and egg white; process until dough forms. Press into a greased 9" tart pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Mix ricotta, egg, parmesan, lemon juice, pepper, nutmeg, and salt. Spread over crust. Arrange sliced squash in concentric rings on top. Dust with thyme.
Bake for 45-60 minutes until filling is set. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Ensure the squash is fully cooled before slicing to prevent the tart from becoming soggy.
