Medley of Roast Vegetables
The perfect accompaniment to a kiwi roast is the roast vegetable medley. This roasties recipe adds a twist of lime and coriander which works beautifully. A healthy roast option.
Ingredients
- potatoes
- kumara
- pumpkin
- onions or shallots
- yams
- parsnips
- carrots
- 2 limes or lemons
- 2 tbsp rice bran oil
- 1 tbsp crushed garlic
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- herbs to garnish
Instructions
- Cube all vegetables into 3cm chunks, except the onions - cut those into segments.
- Segment some limes (or lemons) - usually 3 or 4 of them
- Preheat 2 tablespoons rice bran oil in a roasting dish at 200-220 °C (bake function).
- Add 2-3 teaspoons of crushed garlic, plus 2-3 teaspoons of coriander to the oil and stir around.
- Add all the veges and limes and baste. You can add salt and pepper if you want - I usually add a bit of fresh ground pepper.
- Time is up, when they're cooked - never taken too much notice. Usually about 50 minutes or when golden and crisp.
- Garnish with fresh herbs. Rosemary, thyme and coriander work well.
Notes
Tip: Sometimes the limes let out too much juice and it can start to get soggy, so remove the citrus part-way through cooking while turning veges.
A wonderful taste sensation. You just can't beat roast vegetables. Serve with roast chicken or lamb and gravy or a squeeze of lime for a healthier option.
