Instructions
 

  • Begin by preparing all of the roasting vegetables and pre-heating the oven to 180 degrees Place the prepared vegetables on a roasting tray (use 2 if needed), drizzle a small amount of oil on the veggies and roast in the oven for about 35mins until starting to caramelise.
  • Prepare the dressing by mixing all of the dressing ingredients with a whisk in a small bowl.
