Roast vegetable tartlets



Ingredients:

1 pack ready-rolled puff pastry (check the pack to make sure it is vegetarian or vegan)
1 small jar of sundried tomato paste or black olive tapenade
A little milk or soya milk, to glaze
A mixture of left-over roasted vegetables (see note)
A handful of pine nuts (optional)

 
Preheat the oven to 200C. Unroll the pastry onto a floured board and cut it into tartlet-sized pieces. There are no rules about the shape of a tartlet! Transfer the pastry pieces to a baking tray lined with parchment. 
Using the tip of a sharp knife, score a margin around the edge of each pastry piece, to ‘frame’ the filling – the frame should be about 1cm wide. Try to make the cut deep, without cutting all the way through the pastry. 
Leaving the ‘frame’ area clean, spread the pastry pieces with sundried tomato paste or black olive tapenade. Top with the roasted vegetables – a handful of pine nuts sprinkled on top will improve the protein content of the dish. Brush the edge of each tartlet with a little milk or soya milk.
Bake the tartlets for 15 minutes until the pastry is puffy and golden.
