Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Chop up the vegetables into small cubes. Toss the vegetables with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, thyme and minced garlic and roast for 20-30 minutes, or until the veggies are nicely golden and cooked through. Set aside and allow to cool.

Spread some melted butter on each sheet of phyllo pastry. Cut each sheet into 4 pieces. Place the sheets one on top of the other in a large muffin pan. Repeat this step with the other 5 phyllo sheets.

Place the roast veggies and halloumi into the middle of each phyllo pastry and bring the edges together to create a parcel.

Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until phyllo is golden brown and crisp.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You can use olive oil instead of butter to brush the phyllo pastry.

You can use pre-cut veggies to make the prep-time easier or leftover roast veggies.

If you are not working with the pastry quick enough, keep it covered with a damp kitchen towel as you work.

You can use feta cheese instead of halloumi or you can leave the cheese out altogether.

If you make these parcels in advance you can reheat it in the oven or the air-fryer at 180°C for 4 minutes.
