ROAST VEGETABLE AND FETA TARTS
These are just to die for!! They are great as an entree, a light lunch or dinner - with salad and bread. I found the recipe in the gardening magazine "Burke's back yard". I used phyllo pastry and tied them up. Use whatever veggies you like - eggplant, broccoli, pumpkin, swede, parsnip etc., world's your oyster kid!

Tips:
- Choose firm vegetables: Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as broccoli, carrots, and potatoes, are ideal for roasting.
- Cut vegetables into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Toss vegetables with olive oil and seasonings: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Roast vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy and tender.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the vegetables enough space so that they can roast evenly.
- Roast vegetables until they are tender and slightly browned: The exact cooking time will vary depending on the vegetable.
- Serve vegetables immediately: Roasted vegetables are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
