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.

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!
