    A platter of roast vegetable filo parcels with salad. Pin title text overlay at top.
    Three roast vegetable filo parcels on a plate. One cut so the roast vegetable filling is falling out. A light salad of lettuce and tomatoes served on the plate too.

    Roast vegetable filo parcels make for a delicious light lunch or dinner. Easy to make, they're also a great way to use up any leftover vegetables!

    Sometimes my recipe creations come completely out of the blue. Just like these tasty roast vegetable filo parcels!

    As a food blogger I often have leftover vegetables in the fridge from various dishes I've been creating or photographing.

    Like recently when I completed a video for my tomato and courgette soup I was left with a dilema.

    What to do with a leftover courgette?

    Plate of roast vegetable filo parcels with salad and a knife and fork on with a serving dish of the rest of the filo parcels in the background.

    Sure it could have just been sautéed up and served as a side with a main course like my oven baked Moroccan spiced chicken  .

    Or I could have got my spiralizer out, turned it into courgettie spaghetti and made a delicious spiralized pasta cashew stir fry!

    But no.

    This leftover courgette was desinted to be roasted with a couple of peppers. Then wrapped in filo pastry with some lovely feta cheese and baked until crisp in the oven.

    These delightful filo parcels are a great way to get your kids to eat more veggies.

    They’re so enjoyable that the whole family will love them too. Just serve them up with a simple side salad.

    Plus rest assured that these are healthy filo pastry parcels too.

    Filo pastry has just 3.1g of fat per 100g and is low in saturated fat compared to regular pastry!

    How To Make Filo Parcels Using Filo Pastry

    Working with filo pastry is easy.

    Here's an excellent video from the BBC which shows you how to make filo parcels :- https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/videos/techniques/how-use-filo-pastry  The only difference being that I use olive oil spray instead of butter or olive oil.

    I've also got my own step by step picture guide you can follow in my turkey filo pastry samosas recipe post.

    • Season the roasted vegetables.
    • Take one sheet of filo pastry, spray it with the olive oil cooking spray and fold it in half lengthways, then spray it again so you have a long strip (2 layers of filo pastry). *
    • Crumble a little of the feta cheese and about 2 tbsp. of the roasted veg mixture at the right end of the strip, leaving a 2cm / 1-inch border. Fold a corner over, diagonally to the left, making an enclosed triangle. Fold again, moving all the way along until the end of the strip. Spray the outside. Place the triangular filo parcel on a cleaned greased baking tray.
    • Repeat the process with the other 7 sheets
    • Bake in the centre of the oven for about 20 minutes, turning the triangles over halfway through.
    • Remove from oven and allow to cool a little before serving.

      I love this, because vegetables are so much more fun to eat this way rather than in a big pile! Plus, you get cheese this way! And they’re pretty.

      You had me at feta! The thought of feta combined with a bunch of roasted veggies sounds delicious, Neil! I often have the same problem as you with random leftover ingredients. These filo parcels are a great way to use 'em up. Excellent idea, my friend!

        I recall you growing courgettes in that garden of yours David in your previous house. Not sure if you still have a garden in your new place, but if you do then those courgettes will come in handy!

      I think some of the most interesting (creative) ideas and recipes are born when you need to utilize some produce or you're limited to whatever you've got in the fridge / pantry. These filo parcels are delicious; love the combination of courgette, peppers, and feta!

        I agree Ben. When you need to use things up you have to become creative. I hate to waste anything so I force myself to do anything to use up these leftover. Sometimes it's not great. Sometimes it is. Like with these delicious roast vegetable filo parcels. And the combination is delicious! 🙂

      I love using filo, it is such a versatile and light pastry compared to puff pastry. The best part is that it is such a guilt-free snack, especially when it has such an amazing filling like these roast veggies. I would love to give this a try...Thank you for this delicious recipe Neil...have a great week 🙂
