Easy Roast Veg Dinner

This is one of my favourite recipes to turn to after a busy day at work, because after a few minutes spent hacking up a cauliflower, there really is no effort involved.

You can adapt this recipe to include almost any veg you have in the fridge and in the past I have used various combos of cauliflower, broccoli, parsnips, mushrooms, courgettes, cherry tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, edamame beans, tofu (does that count as a vegetable?) sweetcorn, chickpeas… the list is potentially endless.

I tend to favour glass ovenware in my kitchen as then there is no need for any oil.  I sometimes will use a bit of fry lite, but I just as regularly forget and the food is never any the worse for it.

This is the version I made most recently
