Ingredients

• Puff pastry - 1 sheet (about 250g)
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Yellow bell pepper - 1, diced
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Cherry tomatoes - 150g, halved
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Dried thyme - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Feta cheese - 100g, crumbled
• Egg - 1, beaten

Steps

1. Preheat the BBQ grill to medium heat.
2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
3. Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.
4. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit a 20cm tart pan. Place the pastry in the pan and trim any excess.
5. Spread the grilled vegetables evenly over the pastry base, then sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
6. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to give it a golden color when baked.
7. Bake the tart in the preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
8. Remove the tart from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
