Ingredients

• Phyllo pastry - 6 sheets
• Zucchini - 100 grams, grated
• Carrot - 100 grams, grated
• Red bell pepper - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Onion - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• Sesame seeds - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
3. Add the grated zucchini, carrot, and chopped red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in the chopped parsley, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
5. Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again.
6. Cut the layered phyllo sheets into long strips, about 10 cm wide.
7. At the bottom of each strip, place a tablespoon of the vegetable filling. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll up to form a triangle. Seal the edges with a bit of olive oil.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
9. Place the briouates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
11. Serve warm with a side salad or yogurt dip.
