Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack Puff pastry sheet
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 2 cups Spinach leaves
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Feta cheese (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dice the carrot, zucchini, and red bell pepper into small cubes. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the carrot, zucchini, and red bell pepper, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
If using, crumble the feta cheese and mix it into the cooled vegetable mixture.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares.
Place a generous spoonful of the vegetable mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold the corners of the pastry squares toward the center, pinching the edges to seal and form a parcel.
In a small bowl, beat the egg to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the parcels with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Transfer the parcels to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
Let the parcels cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
