How to cook Vegetable snack baskets

Step 1

Peppers cut into cubes or strips, onion into half rings. Fry in vegetable oil until tender, add honey and thyme, salt and pepper.

Step 2

We spread the vegetables on the bottom of the cupcake molds, sprinkle with Feta cheese or cottage cheese. Roll out the puff pastry and cut out circles, slightly larger than the diameter of the molds.

Step 3

We close each basket from above with dough so that the edges are tucked into the inside of the molds and are between the walls and the filling. Poke holes in the surface of the dough with a fork.

Step 4

Bake in an oven heated to 200 ° C for 30 minutes. We take out the baskets from the molds immediately after the end of the cooking time, turn over and the top becomes the bottom of the basket. Serve the appetizer slightly cooled or cold, garnished with greens.

Vegetable snack baskets - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use different vegetables in these snack baskets?

Absolutely! Feel free to substitute vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers based on your preference and what's in season. Just ensure they are cooked until tender before assembling the baskets.

What's the best way to store leftover vegetable snack baskets?

Store leftover baskets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They're best enjoyed sooner rather than later to maintain the pastry's crispness.

Can I make these snack baskets vegetarian or vegan?

Yes! To make them vegetarian, simply ensure your Feta cheese is vegetarian-friendly (some use animal rennet). For a vegan version, use a vegan puff pastry and substitute the Feta with a plant-based cheese alternative or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.

How can I prevent the puff pastry from getting soggy?

Make sure the vegetable filling isn't too wet before placing it in the pastry. Also, baking the baskets immediately after assembling them helps prevent the pastry from absorbing moisture. Don't skip the fork pricks, as they allow steam to escape.

Can I prepare the vegetable filling ahead of time?

Yes, you can cook the vegetable filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to let it cool completely before assembling the baskets.

What are some serving suggestions for these vegetable snack baskets?

These baskets are great as appetizers, snacks, or as part of a light lunch. Serve them with a side salad or a dipping sauce like tzatziki or a balsamic glaze.

Can I freeze these vegetable snack baskets?

Freezing is not recommended, as the puff pastry may become soggy upon thawing. It's best to enjoy them fresh or within a couple of days of making them.

What can I use instead of honey?

If you prefer a different sweetener, maple syrup or agave nectar can be used as a substitute for honey. You can also skip the sweetener entirely for a less sweet, more savory flavor.
