  7. Preheat oven to 400.
  8. Unroll and cover the phyllo sheets with a damp clean kitchen towel.
  9. One at a time, lay a phyllo sheet flat on a clean surface and very lightly brush with the melted butter mixture.
  10. Fold in one-third of the phyllo lengthways toward the middle.
  11. Very lightly brush again with the butter mixture and fold in the other side to make a long triple-layered rectangle.
  12. Place 1 rounded tablespoon of the vegetable mixture at one end of the long rectangle, leaving about 1-inch border.
  13. Take the right corner and fold diagonally to the left, encasing the filling and forming a triangle.
  14. Then fold along the upper crease of the triangle, and continue folding in this manner until you reach the end of the long rectangle.
