**Rainbow Veggie Tart**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry, thawed
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
– 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
– 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
– 1 small eggplant, thinly sliced
– 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a knife, lightly score a border about 1 inch from the edge of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, red onion, and minced garlic. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
4. Arrange the seasoned vegetables on the puff pastry, staying within the border. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
5. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the vegetables are cooked through.
6. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
7. Slice the tart into squares or wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this rainbow veggie tart as a delightful appetizer or main dish.
