Perfect Roast Vegetable

I won’t promise to share all healthy meals throughout the year because I love baking and I won’t be happy if I can’t share my sweet treats. However, I will share a fair spread from sweet indulgence to healthy and simple. Just the way we all love it, it’s called balance.

You don’t need to put in much effort to make perfect roast vegetable, takes just a few minutes to put it all together, pop it into the oven and you good to go. I am Indian so I add a little spice wherever I can, that includes my Perfect Roast Vegetable. It has loads of flavour with a slightly caramelized exterior and tender on the inside, super delicious. Sometimes I can be a little lazy in the kitchen so this is my go to side dish when I have my moments. For those lazy days it’s even better when you can buy the pre-cut vegetable, how much easier can life get.

If you are using firm vegetable like the butternut used in this recipe, I suggest you cover it with foil for the first few minutes.  This technique really does help in speeding up the cooking process. It also helps to cut all your veggies a similar size to get your veggies to cook evenly. You really don’t want bits of undercooked veggies at serving time.

Be careful not to crowd your vegetable when baking them, a large roasting pan or even your cookie sheet works perfectly well. I line my sheet with some parchment paper before spreading out my vegetable.

Seeing it’s meat-free Monday for most of us you can use this recipe for your dinner tonight, if I had my way I will add some grilled halloumi and make a meal of it. This Couscous Salad with Roast Vegetable also makes a great vegetarian meal
