Preparation Steps

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange the sliced vegetables on top, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the truffle aioli. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, truffle oil, minced garlic, and thyme if using. Mix well and set aside.

Once the vegetables are roasted, remove the pastry from the oven. Spread a generous layer of truffle aioli over the pastry base, then arrange the roasted vegetables on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors.
