Roasted Root Veg Traybake

Ingredients

  • 1kg mixed roots – we used carrots, parsnips and swede – cut into batons and halved
  • 220g new potatoes halved
  • 3 garlic cloves skin left on
  • 4 rosemary sprigs
  • 4 thyme sprigs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 50g pack mixed snacking nuts or seeds
  • 45g vegetarian feta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small pack parsley finely chopped
  • 1 lemon juiced

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 5. Place the prepared root vegetables, new potatoes and whole garlic cloves into a large roasting tin. Tuck the rosemary and thyme sprigs amongst the vegetables. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, toss to coat everything evenly, season, and roast for 50 mins until the vegetables are tender.
  2. Remove the softened garlic from its skin. Combine it with the lemon juice, chopped parsley and the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, either by blending or whisking in a bowl. Pour this dressing over the roasted vegetables and toss to combine. Finish by scattering the nuts and crumbled feta over the top before serving.
