This fridge clean-out recipe transforms leftover veggies into a delicious tray bake.

There are many reasons to try your hand at @shisodelicious‘ veggie tray bake. Not only is it incredibly moreish to taste, it’s healthy, good for your pocket and minimises food waste. So, open the fridge, pick out those sad-looking vegetables and turn them into a dish full of flavour and goodness.

 

Method

Step 1

Peel any relevant veggies and chop into bite-sized pieces. Chop harder veggies like carrots into smaller pieces and softer ones like cabbage into larger pieces so they cook at a similar speed.⁠

 

Step 2

Add the chopped veg to an oven tray in one layer.

 

Step 3

Open the chickpea can, drain off the liquid and add the chickpeas to the veggie tray.⁠

 

Step 4

Squeeze the garlic cloves and add to the tray.⁠

 

Step 5

Season with salt, pepper and chilli powder.⁠

 

Step 6

Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil and combine everything to thoroughly coat in oil and seasoning.

 

Step 7

Lay the rosemary on top of the veg.⁠ Then add a splash of water to the tray (1/2 cup) before putting into the oven – this will help the veggies cook more evenly.⁠

 

Step 8

Roast until tender and slightly charred. Approx 45 minutes to 1 hour.⁠

 

Step 9

Pour over the dressing while still hot, add green leaves and tuck in.
