Method

Preheat oven to 180C
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and arrange the pumpkin, red onion, capsicum in a single layer. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a bowl, combine the roasted vegetables with the lentils and ricotta
Cut the pastry with a 12-13 cm round cutter. Line a 10 cm fluted pie tin with the pastry, pressing edges down then place filling in the centre. Cut another pastry round and place it over the filling before pinching the edges to close the pie. Trim off excess pastry, make a slit on top with a sharp knife then brush with egg wash.
Place pies in the oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
