# Directions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Stir in mushrooms and bell peppers, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened.
02 -
Add shredded carrots, grated zucchini, and chopped spinach to the pan. Season with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if desired. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, cheddar, ricotta, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add egg, garlic powder, and onion powder, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
04 -
Fold the cooled vegetable mixture into the cheese blend until evenly distributed.

Preheat oven to 190°C. Lay phyllo or puff pastry sheets on a clean surface.

Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the prepared filling onto one end of each dough sheet. Roll up tightly, tucking in the edges to seal. Arrange rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Lightly brush each roll with melted butter to promote even browning.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm accompanied by a preferred dipping sauce.
