Are you a fan of filo pastry like us? Then you'll love our savoury triangles that hide a bunch of sweetcorn and grated zucchini (with some onion) flavoured with fresh parsley. The thin filo sheets bake up flaky and crisp, creating the perfect crunchy contrast to the filling.
These are ideal choice for an everyday snack, light lunch or even picnic meal (just like our potato and mushroom filo pies). Plus, these filo triangles are quite easy to prepare and are ideal crowd pleaser.
Let's see how to prepare these veggie filo pastry triangles, that can be enjoyed either just from the oven or when cool. In both cases they are super addictive and you will not be able to stop at just one.
These delicious filo triangles are filled with simple and quick to make filling. You will need ZUCCHINI (coarsely grated), SWEETCORN (from the tin of frozen), SMALL ONION (finely chopped), SALT & GROUND PEPPER, FRESH PARSLEY (finely chopped) and OLIVE OIL.
Zucchini are favourite summer vegetable which tastes great in salads, pastas, soup, pizza or even desserts.
Once grated, zucchini can be turned into a healthy fritters such as our simple zucchini fritters or the one with pancetta, for some extra flavour. And, if you love these you'll also love our tempting fried zucchini balls.
We hope these recipes will inspire you to try cooking zucchini in a new way. And this is not all, there are always more zucchini recipes to try.
When purchasing zucchini, choose ones that are firm and heavy with a bright, glossy skin. Also choose smaller zucchini which offer more flavour than the larger one.
To keep zucchini fresh at home don't wash them until you are ready to use them. Keep them in the fridge and they will last for at least a week.
If you have quality filo pastry, assembling the triangles is fairly easy. For this recipe you will need 6-8 large filo pastry sheets (don't open the filo package until you have the filling ready). Keep the filo sheets in a stack and using a sharp knife, cut them into strips (10x40cm).
We are ready to assemble triangles, which is fairly easy and quick.
FOR EACH TRIANGLE YOU WILL NEED 2 FILO STRIPS. First, place 1 filo strip on the work surface, brush with water/olive oil mixture (mix in a bowl), then top with another one.
Place a tablespoon of mixture at the bottom of the strip then fold the corner over the filling to form a triangle and continue folding until the mixture is completely encased in the triangle.
Arrange triangles on a baking sheet (lined with baking paper), brush with olive oil/water mixture. Be sure not to overload the sheet, leave some space between the triangles.
Bake them in preheated oven until the are golden brown and crisp, 18-20 minutes.
These are the best warm but also delicious cold. You can easily re-crisp them by placing back in the oven for 4-5 minutes at 190°C/374°F.
