We've just changed veg box suppliers, which is a far more monumental occurrence than you'd imagine. As middle-class as it is, the cosiness that comes with having a box of seasonal vegetables delivered to me is something that I really relish, and I never look up what'll be in it beforehand, preferring to be surprised.
Although it's usually carrots, so it's not that surprising, to be honest.
Autumn Vegetable Medley
No ingredients list, because it's up to you what you put in; I like carrots, beetroot, parsnips, potatoes and garlic, but bear in mind that the sweeter your vegetables, the more savoury your seasonings need to be.
Preheat the oven to 200°c. Roughly chop all vegetables into medium sized chunks and place in a baking dish. Cover with a mix of olive and vegetable oil, and then sprinkle in sea salt, paprika, and rosemary. Mix until all vegetables are thoroughly covered.
Cook, uncovered, for half an hour, tossing the vegetables at least twice to get the edges nice and crispy.
Want to add some greens? Top the vegetables with your leaves and stick a knob of butter on top, then cover the dish and let them steam for the last five minutes of cooking.
Delicious as an accompaniment to roast meat, or served as a main dish with rice or couscous.
