Ingredients:

3 cups pumpkin

360g

1 onion

160g

1 zucchini

200g

1 red pepper

80g

1 tbsp olive oil

14g

1 tbsp vinegar

16g

1 sheet puff pastry

250g

2 eggs

100g

1 tbsp milk (1% fat)

16g

1 tbsp hazelnuts

16g

1 tsp sesame seeds

1 tsp dried coriander

1 tsp ground cumin

1/3 cup feta cheese

72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare Vegetables:
- Cube the pumpkin into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the onion, zucchini, and red pepper.

3. Roast Vegetables:
- Place all cut vegetables on a baking tray.
- Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of vinegar.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, dried coriander, and ground cumin.
- Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender and golden. Stir halfway through roasting for even cooking. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

4. Prepare Puff Pastry:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit a tart pan or a baking sheet, ensuring it's about 1/8-inch thick.
- Transfer the puff pastry to the tart pan or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Lightly prick the pastry all over with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much.

5. Make the Egg Mixture:
- In a bowl, beat 2 eggs with 1 tbsp of milk until well combined.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.

6. Assemble the Tart:
- Spread the roasted vegetables evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a border of about 1 inch around the edges.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Scatter the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
- Sprinkle with roughly chopped hazelnuts and sesame seeds.

7. Bake the Tart:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the egg mixture is fully set.
- If the edges brown too quickly, you can cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

8. Serve: Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm as a main dish, side, or appetizer.

Tips:

- Ensure the vegetables are evenly cut to allow for consistent roasting.

- Pre-bake the puff pastry for a few minutes before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.

- Feel free to substitute the listed vegetables with seasonal favorites or whatever you have on hand.

- Use a fork to lightly prick the puff pastry before baking to prevent it from puffing up unevenly.

- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme before serving.

Congratulations! You have successfully made a roasted vegetable tart with sesame sprinkle. This flavorful dish offers a balanced combination of roasted vegetables, creamy feta, and a crunchy sesame topping. Enjoy it fresh out of the oven or serve it at room temperature for a delightful meal.
