Veggie Roast

Here is a really delicious treat:

Set an oven to preheat to 200 deg

Meanwhile,
Wash and peel 2-3 carrots, 1 sweet potato, 1 radish and then cut them up into medium round slices
Wash and cut 1-2 zucchinis into medium round slices
Wash and cut 1-2 tomatoes and 1 medium potato into chunky thick round slices
Wash and cut up a broccoli into chunky florets
Peel 1/2 a small pumpkin and cut into small chunks

Feel free to add of delete any veggie you like, red, yellow and green bell peppers (capsicums) cut into chunks also bring a delightful flavour and colour to this dish... You can add any chunky vegetable to this, but not something like say okra (bhindi)

Grease a baking tray with a little butter and artfully decorate the veggies in it, drizzle some olive oil on them and sprinkle a bit of salt

Put in the oven for about 30-40 minutes until the veggies are all well done. 10 Minutes before they are ready you may add some pieces of mozzarella (pizza) cheese, and keep in the oven until the cheese has melted and become golden brown...

Serve piping hot right out of the oven after decorating with a few basil leaves or sprigs of rosemary, with toasted whole wheat bread

Will upload a few photos of this dish in a few hours :)
