Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C
  2. Peel the pumpkin and cut it into large pieces.  Cut the kumara into large pieces.  Remove the seeds and membrane from the capsicum and cut into large pieces  
  3. Toss the prepared vegetables together with the potatoes and onions in a large baking dish
  4. Drizzle with the combined oil, garlic and honey and toss to combine.  Bake for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender
  5. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and rosemary sprigs.  Season with cracked black pepper 

 

Tip

  • Use cumin seeds instead of sesame seeds, add crumbled Feta and fresh herbs to the roasted vegetable and combine with a light vinaigrette.
  • Use baby vegetables such as beetroot, carrots, scallopini and leeks.
  • Serve with a light ‘gravy’
