Instructions

1. 1

   If making the savory filling, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, toss together the onion, bell pepper, tomato, zucchini, eggplant, garlic, olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread in an even layer on a large baking sheet.

3. 3

   Roast the vegetables until they are soft and caramelized, about 18 minutes, flipping halfway through. Set aside to cool.

4. 4

   When cool enough to handle, pick the garlic from the vegetables and remove the skin. Add to a large bowl and mash into a paste. Add the goat cheese and stir to combine, then add the vegetables and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Use immediately to fill the crepes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

6. 6

   If making the sweet filling: In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, strawberries, blackberries, lemon zest, and honey.

7. 7

   Use immediately to fill crepes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

8. 8

   Make the crepes: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, coconut milk, coconut flour, coconut oil, and salt.

9. 9

   Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients to form a smooth batter, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

    Preheat a 9-inch (22 cm) nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add just enough oil to coat the pan, about ½ teaspoon. Swirl the pan to coat evenly.

11. 11

    Add ½ cup batter to the hot pan and swirl the pan around again until the batter evenly coats the bottom all the way to the edges. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom of the crepe is golden brown in spots and the top is completely cooked through with no raw batter on the surface.

12. 12

    Add ¼ cup of your preferred filling to the top left quarter of the crepe. Using a small spatula or spoon, evenly spread the filling over that section, leaving a ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) border along the outside edge.Fold the bottom half of the crepe over the top half, then fold the right (unfilled) side over the left side to form a triangle. Use a rubber spatula to gently transfer the crepe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling.

13. 13

    Garnish the savory crepes with more thyme and the sweet crepes with whipped cream, quartered strawberries, blackberries, and honey.
