Veggie Roast
This recipe can be a meal in itself or you could cook additions like our delicious lentil nut roast to accompany it and make the perfect Sunday roast dinner.
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 Large White Potato (or a handful of smaller salad potatoes)
1 Large Carrot
1 Large Parsnip
1 Courgette
1 Red Onion
1/2 Small Cauliflower and/or Broccoli
Lightly Steamed Dark Green Leafy Veg (Kale, Cabbage etc)
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp Pureed Garlic
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Dried Mixed Herbs
1-2 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary (optional)
200ml Water
Tin of Mixed Beans
Box of Shop Bought Stuffing (alternatively try our lentil nut roast recipe)
Recipe
1) Chop potatoes into chunks of any size (keep skin on for added fibre & nutrition) and place into a non-stick baking pan into the oven at 180C/350F for 15-20 mins.
2) Chop carrots, onion, cauliflower, courgettes & parsnips into slices/small chunks. Place chopped veg into a large bowl or container.
3) In a jug, place the water, balsamic vinegar, garlic, cumin and mixed herbs. Stir into a paste and then pour over the veg in the bowl. Stir the veg around until it is all coated with the paste.
4) Tip the bowl of veg into the pan with the half cooked potatoes. Stir around the veg and potatoes and add a few sprigs of rosemary if you wish.
5) Leave in the oven until the veg is all cooked through and until the potatoes go crispy.
6) Make stuffing mix as per instructions and add a drained tin of mixed beans. Stir, place in a microwaveable container and cook until it dries out a little and becomes solid enough to cut into slices.
7) Serve up all of your veg, potatoes, stuffing mix or lentil nut roast with some gravy
Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
Top Tips
You can add this roast veg to any meal in smaller quantities.
You do not need oil to roast veg in the oven. The water-based paste (a small amount of water mixed with herbs/spices/nutritional yeast) does a good job of providing a tasty and crispy coating.
If there are any ingredients that you do not like in any of the recipes, then feel free to swap them out for another food choice within the same food category (grains, beans & other legumes, fruit, veg, nuts & seeds).
You can also use frozen fruit or veg when you don’t have the fresh option.
Don’t forget to keep the skins on your veg where possible for essential added fibre and nutrition.
