Winter roast veg upside-down pastry

  • Serves 9
  • Prep time: 2 mins | Cooking time: 20 mins

Individual upside-down pastries with leftover roast winter vegetables assembled on a single tray. It’s an easy, simple, hassle-free pastry that the whole whānau can munch on.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups leftover roast vegetables, cut in 4cm pieces (we used carrot, kumara, potato, pumpkin)

  • Handful of fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed and cut into 9

  • 1 egg, beaten

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C fan bake. Line a baking tray.

  2. Drizzle a teaspoon of oil on the prepared baking tray in a small square, sprinkle over some thyme.

  3. Arrange a few of the roast vegetables on top, then cover the vegetables with a piece of puff pastry. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

  4. Brush the puff pastry with egg, then place in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. Flip the pastries over and place on a plate. Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Sprinkle feta or grated parmesan cheese over the pastries once they're golden and crispy for a cheesy addition.
