These Vegetable Tarts are perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fit well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Using the base of the individual pie dish as a guide, cut the wrap, allowing enough at the edges to form the sides of the pie.
Step 2
Using a knife, carefully cut 2cm tabs all around the edges of your wraps.
Step 3
Spray the individual pie dish with low calorie cooking spray and push the wrap firmly into the dish, squeezing the “tabs” together where they overlap. Place in the oven for 6 minutes.
Step 4
Spray a frying pan with some low calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onion, yellow pepper and courgette and fry for 5 minutes until soft. Add the cherry tomatoes to the vegetables for another minute.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the passata, basil, oregano and garlic powder. Distribute between the two tart cases, leaving a couple of tablespoons. Add in the vegetables to the tarts and top with the remaining passata mix. Cook in the oven for 12 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the tarts from the oven and serve immediately. You can either remove them from the individual pie dishes, or leave them in there!

Hi Edwina, we’re so pleased to hear you’re making our Vegetable Tarts! The calories indicated are for one tart. Hope you enjoyed this recipe.
Joanna SimsWednesday 13th May 2020
What kind of dish do you need for this please
Steve CowderoyTuesday 19th May 2020
Hi Joanna, we used individual ceramic pie dishes for this recipe. Most individual pie dishes should work fine. Thanks for getting in touch with us and i hope this help.
Deb TTuesday 24th September 2019
These look amazing. Definitely going to have a go at making these for my lunch today ????????
KarenSaturday 6th July 2019
Are you able to batch cook some of these and freeze them please? They look delish.
Sharon FitzpatrickFriday 8th May 2020
Hi Karen, thanks for your question, Unfortunately, these aren’t suitable for freezing, as the vegetables in them would become mushy after defrosting. They’re definitely best freshly made. Thanks for getting in touch.
Kay WallbridgeSunday 16th June 2019
Hi Kay &Kate
Just looking at your recipe for the vegetable tart I will definitely have a go at this. Now, not being very computer literate I am not sure what “screenshot” means at the risk of appearing stupid is it just a photo , also how do I link it to your original post please, I did tell you that I am not computer literate did’nt I.
Would just like to add that your cookbook and your planner are amazing, thank you, also like to add that I am 81 and still learning the computer, that’s my excuse anyway ????????
Emma TThursday 20th June 2019
Hi Kay,
I’m so glad you’re enjoying all the recipes, book and planner! ????
A screenshot is just a photo of the recipe, we prefer that people share the link (which you can find in the bar where you would type in a website address, and then copy and paste to wherever you are trying to share the recipe to!)
Hope that helps!

Could you add a couple of beaten eggs and blitzed cottage cheese and turn it in to more of a quiche, or do you think the wrap not survive the extra moisture?
This is on my food plan for this week ????
Emma TThursday 20th June 2019
Hi Mandi,
You could certainly try it out! ????
SamMonday 7th January 2019
These look amazing and can not wait to try. Can these be eaten cold for lunch the next day?
EmilyMonday 29th October 2018

karen biertonThursday 8th February 2018
Just made this and it is delish, will be making again. Thank you for your hard work.
MagzMonday 20th November 2017
Got half way through making this and noticed it said about adding cherry tomatoes but can’t see any in the recipe. Luckily I had some in the fridge but doesn’t say how many you should add. Also it says serve immediately – is it not ideal to have cold for a lunch time then.? Looks and smells yummy though….!
JessicaTuesday 7th November 2017
Ooooo these look great! Can’t wait to try them 🙂
