Ingredients
- 1 sheet (14 oz) refrigerated puff pastry
- 1 medium, thinly sliced zucchini
- 1, thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1/2, thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 oz, crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbsp, chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 tsp salt
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Unfold puff pastry sheet onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and trim edges to create a clean rectangle. Prick all over with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Step 2: Toss zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and pinch of black pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around edges.
- Step 3: Roast for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from oven and sprinkle crumbled feta and chopped dill evenly over the vegetables.
- Step 4: Fold pastry edges over the filling to create a rustic border. Return to oven and bake for 12-15 more minutes until golden brown and pastry is crisp.
- Step 5: Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing to set the filling, then serve warm or at room temperature.
