Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine root vegetables, onion, garlic, olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat.
Spread the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet. Roast, stirring the vegetables every 10 minutes, until they are tender and beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl. Add 3/4 of the goat cheese and toss to coat.
To assemble galette: Roll the dough into a rough 14-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick (or unroll your store-bought crust). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment and place the dough on it. Arrange the roasted vegetables on the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Fold the border up and over the filling to form a rim, pleating as you go. Scatter the remaining goat cheese over the vegetables.
Beat the egg, then mix about a teaspoon with the teaspoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush beaten egg mixture lightly over the crust. (The remaining egg can be discarded or refrigerated and used in scrambled eggs.)
Bake the galette at 400 degrees F until the crust is golden, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
