Cooking Vegetarian Zucchini, ricotta and pumpkin tarts

Forget the frenzy of midweek dinners with these fuss-free vegetarian tarts.

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Place pumpkin in a heatproof, microwave- safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons cold water. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 3 minutes or until tender. Drain. Add zucchini. Stir to combine.
  3. Combine 200g ricotta and chives in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Cut pastry sheets in half to form 4 rectangles. Place on prepared tray. Starting with the short sides first, fold 1cm of pastry edges inwards to create a border. Spread inside border of each tart with 1⁄4 cup ricotta mixture. Top with pumpkin mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Brush edges with egg. Bake for 20 minutes until pastry is golden and puffed.
  5. Sprinkle tarts with remaining ricotta and extra chives. Serve tarts with salad and lemon wedges.
