Instructions

Winter Vegetables

  • Set Oven to 200 Degrees Celcius

Vegetables

  • Chop up all the Vegetables in equal sizes so they cook evenly once in the oven.

Marinade

  • Mix spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, chilli, salt and peppar) and add mustard, honey, lemon juice and olive oil. Pour 3/4 of the marinade over the chopped vegetables. Set aside and save the rest (1/4) for your winter salad.

Mix and 30 minute trip into oven

  • Place your marinated vegetables on grease proof paper on a baking tray.
  • Into the oven for 30 minutes.
  • You can now serve all of the winter vegetables with grilled fish or chicken for four people - or save half for your second dish - warm winter salad or soup. OR - even eat 1/3 for your dinner no 1, and save the east for the other two options below 🙂

Soup

  • Approx 450 grams of the oven baked winter vegetables
  • 400 ml Vegetable stock
  • Mix the vegetables and the stock in a food processor, and set to gently simmer on medium.
  • Add 100 grams (or more if you prefer) pre cooked lentils.
  • Pour into your soup bowls, and add a dollop of natural yoghurt and parsley. Winter warmth with a whizz!

Warm Winter Salad

  • Approx 400 grams of Winter Vegetables - heat them up if saved from earlier - or warm from the oven.
  • Place the vegetables on top of raw spinach leaves in your serving dish.
  • Add Feta cheese - or why not Gorgonzola - in small slices on top.
  • Add pomegranate seeds for tanginess and extra crunch.
  • Pour over the saved 1/3 of marinade you reserved from your winter vegetables.
  • Ready, steady, healthy dinner - done!

Notes

Warmth, health, easy, nutritious, options for a busy week - or cosy weekend! So much enjoyment from 30 minutes in the oven! Enjoy!
