Roasted winter vegetables (with or without sausages!)

This is another veg box favourite, the winter vegetables are so delicious that they need little more than some time in the oven, oil, salt and pepper.  Obviously the vegetables are a movable feast, just use whatever you have in appropriate quantities.  I often add some Lincolnshire sausages and then a little flour and stock towards the end of cooking to produce a kind of one pot sausage casserole…

Ingredients (to serve 4)

1 squash or small pumpkin
2 large onions
1 Celariac root
1 Swede
4 medium sized potatoes
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Directions

1) Preheat the oven to 220C. Peel the celeriac and swede, wash the potatoes and wash and deseed the squash / pumpkin.  Peel the onions and cut into segments (like an orange).

2) Mix the veg together in a large, heavy roasting tray, season well and add two tablespoons of olive oil.

3) Roast for 1 hour, turning occasionally until all softened and lightly browned.

Serve as a side dish or a snack.  Alternatively go down the sausage route and have a wonderful winter warming main course…

Enjoy, and let me know how you get on!
