Ingredients:
1 refrigerated pie crust
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
1 medium leek, white and pale green parts only, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust into a large circle. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the crust into the pan, trimming any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potato slices and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they are tender.
Add the leeks and garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the leeks are tender.
Stir in the orange juice and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated.
Spread the sweet potato mixture over the pie crust in the tart pan. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake the tart for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Serve the tart hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
