A fancy, savory galette may not be the first thought when it comes to galettes, but this roasted vegetable galette is packed with a garlicky, herbed ricotta that pairs perfectly with every kind of vegetable you can imagine.
For another tasty roasted vegetable recipe, try my roasted tomatoes. Or for something herby my dill and brown sugar roasted carrots or roasted turnips, one of the easiest turnip recipes out there!
Roasted Vegetable Savory Galette with Garlic Herbed Ricotta
Galettes are usually considered to be only for dessert, a sort of sweet rustic pie to have for dessert at a restaurant or throw together at home with minimal effort.
However, with the proper technique, you can easily make a delicious SAVORY galette at home with the same minimal effort for a fantastic appetizer or side dish! This recipe uses roasted vegetables, some nuts in the form of pecans, and a huge amount of garlicky ricotta cheese, giving you something that is still pie-like with that flaky crust, yet still savory and delicious.

Vegetables to Use in This Roasted Vegetable Galette
The great thing about making a savory galette is that you can use whatever vegetables you want. This recipe is sort of a rough how-to guide, which means you can use whatever veggies you have to hand or are seasonal in your area.
Try to make sure that you are using vegetables that complement one another, however. For example, if you want something to serve as the green base, like cabbage or Brussels sprouts, then pair it with something sweeter and tender, like beetroot.
You could stop there, or you could go ultra-seasonal and add in some pumpkin or winter squash, giving you a savory winter galette that would pair perfectly with the pecans.
For best results, choose seasonal vegetables that complement each other; some that are crunchy, others that are fresh and juicy, and at least one with an earthy richness like a squash.
Tips and Tricks
- I always make a few more vegetables than I think will fit in the galette just to make sure, and then they are fantastic heated up the next day anyways, throw a poached egg on top of the veggies that wouldn’t fit into the galette and call it breakfast!
- Make two at a time if you are making this for a larger crowd – you can also call this dinner for your family as well.
- Almost any vegetable works in this, root vegetables seem to roast up the best however.
Hope you enjoy!
