Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the crust by whisking together sweet rice flour, millet flour, gluten-free oat flour, tapioca flour, and kosher salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter, then gradually add ice water. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the dough chills. Prepare tart pans with a light coat of cooking spray.
- Roll out dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about ⅛ inch thick. Transfer circles into tart pans and trim excess dough, pricking bottoms to prevent bubbling.
- Bake crusts for 12 minutes until just lightly cooked. They should be pale and starting to firm up.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt, egg whites, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as desired.
- Fill pre-baked crusts with ricotta mixture. Decorate with black olives for Jack Skellington's features, using julienned olive strips for embellishment.
- Return decorated tarts to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until filling is set and lightly browned.
- Allow tarts to cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes
Ensure butter and water are ice-cold for a flaky crust. Chill dough to relax gluten in gluten-free flours. Use precise placements for olive decorations for a visually appealing tart.
