Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add the zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, and eggplant to the skillet. Season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Place the thawed puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, lightly score a border about 1 inch from the edge of the pastry on all sides, being careful not to cut all the way through.
-
Prick the inner area of the pastry with a fork to prevent it from puffing too much during baking.
-
Arrange the sautéed vegetables on the pastry, overlapping slightly. Top with cherry tomatoes, black olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
-
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the vegetables and pastry.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
-
Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves.
-
Slice the tart into squares or wedges and serve warm.
