How to Make Vegetable Filo Roll Extravaganza

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the diced carrots, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in the bell pepper and squash/zucchini. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms, tarragon, and basil. Cook, uncovered, until the mushrooms release their juices and are tender (5-10 minutes).
  5. Drain any excess liquid from the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and minced garlic.
  7. In a small saucepan, melt together the butter and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over very low heat.
  8. Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Keep the bread crumbs, melted butter-oil mixture, and a pastry brush nearby. Work quickly in a cool, dry environment as filo dries out quickly.
  11. Lay out 3 sheets of filo on the prepared baking sheet. Gently brush the top sheet with the melted butter-oil mixture.
  12. Sprinkle 1/4 of the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the buttered filo.
  13. Repeat steps 11 and 12 until all filo and breadcrumbs are used, ending with a layer of buttered filo on top.
  14. Spread the cooked vegetables evenly over the filo, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
  15. Starting at one long side, tightly roll the filo into a log, tucking in the ends. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  16. Brush the entire roll with remaining butter-oil mixture and sprinkle with fennel, poppy, or sesame seeds (optional).
  17. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  18. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
