Fry these until tender. Add the seeds to this mixture and then coarsely chop everything. The tapenade is now ready. Set aside until use.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
- Place a piece of baking paper in the baking tin. Place a slice of puff pastry in each mould and form a tray.
- Cut the beetroot into thin slices (you'll use the 4 largest slices).
- Spread the mushroom tapenade over the bottom of the tartlets. Spread the slices of beetroot over this. Spread with the apple syrup. Spread the slices of goat's cheese on top.
- Beat the egg and brush the edges of the puff pastry tartlets with it.
- Bake the tarts for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Finally, fry some sage leaves in a little olive oil.
- Serve the tarts right out of the oven with the toasted nuts and sage leaves.
