Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (finely diced) red bell pepper
- 1 small (finely diced) zucchini
- 1 medium (grated) carrot
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) scallions
- 0.5 cup (crumbled) feta cheese
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place a sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean work surface. Brush lightly with olive oil and layer another phyllo sheet on top. Repeat this process until all 8 sheets are stacked, brushing each layer with olive oil.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the stacked phyllo sheets into small rectangles or squares, about 2x3 inches in size. Carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, combine the red bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, scallions, feta cheese, garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to evenly combine.
Place about a teaspoon of the vegetable mixture in the center of each phyllo square or rectangle.
Brush the edges of each piece with a bit more olive oil and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
