In a baking dish add in all your chopped veggies, spices and oil and give it a
good mix and pop it in the oven for 35 minutes.
Measure your shredded cheese in 1⁄4 cup portions (this is the perfect amount to
make muffin size frico cups) and place it onto a lined baking tra, be sure to leave
space between each pile.
Spread your cheese into flat circles and sprinkle with your finely grated
parmesan.
Place your baking tray in the oven for 5-6minutes.
Flip over a muffin pan and carefully drape your melted cheese circles over the
inverted muffin molds. Set aside to cool.
Once your veggies are done and cups cooled and crispy, it is time to assemble.
Place a spoonful of veggies into your cheese cups and top with your favorite
pesto* and a basil leaf.
