Roasted Vegetable Galette with Olives

The natural sugar in the vegetables caramelizes during roasting, giving this tart an incredible sweet-savory flavor. Roasted garlic adds a mellow note and moistens the filling. This is a very adaptable recipe: experiment with different vegetables - eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini - and cheeses like fontina or Jarlsberg.
