  4. Incorporate zucchini and grated carrots; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in fresh spinach, season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
  6. Cool the mixture slightly before mixing in breadcrumbs and cheese.
  7. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick.
  8. Spoon generous portions of the vegetable filling along one edge and roll tightly, sealing edges.
