Perfect for summer – this vegan and gluten-free Basil Tomato Tart is full of flavour. Perfect as a side when having BBQ or as a lunchbox snack.
The dough has a lovely crispy texture. I have also made crackers and breadsticks with it. And the fresh basil adds so much flavour to the filling. I’m already looking forward to next summer when I will be baking this tart again and again 🙂
This recipe for Basil Tomato Tart is vegan, gluten-free and oil-free. Tahini is the ingredients that works as an alternative for oil. This can be replaced with other nut- or seed butters.
For the topping you can use any kind of tomato. On the photos you can see the heritage tomatoes that we grew in our garden this year. So yummy! 😋
