Ingredients
- 1 package (10 sheets) phyllo dough
- 1 pound tomatoes
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Thinly slice tomatoes, zucchini, and bell pepper into 1/8-inch rounds. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange in single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 2: Roast for 20 minutes until vegetables are tender and edges are slightly caramelized, then let cool slightly.
