Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Pop 33 x 23cm baking tray in the oven to heat up. Brush a griddle pan with about 1 tsp of the oil and griddle the aubergines until nicely charred, then remove. Repeat with the courgettes and onions, using a little more oil if you need to.
- Remove the tray from the oven and brush with a little oil. Brush a large sheet of filo with oil, top with another sheet, add a little more oil and repeat with the final sheet. Transfer the pastry to the hot tray, pushing it into the edges a little.
- Arrange the griddled veg on top, then season. Add the tomatoes, cut-side up, then drizzle on the vinegar and any remaining oil. Crumble on the feta and sprinkle with oregano. Cook for about 20 mins until crispy and golden. Serve with the dressed mixed salad leaves.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your tart a more colorful and flavorful filling. Some good options include zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, and mushrooms.
- Roast the vegetables before assembling the tart: This will help to caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness. You can roast the vegetables in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta is a key ingredient in this tart, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that has a strong flavor. Look for feta that is made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk.
- Don't overcook the tart: The tart should be cooked until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the tart will make the crust dry and the vegetables will lose their flavor.
- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature: This tart is best served warm or at room temperature. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave if necessary.
Conclusion:
This roast vegetable and feta tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it's also a healthy and vegetarian-friendly meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give this tart a try.
