Roastie!

The Sunday 'Roastea'

 Great food to warm you up when the last of the potatoes have been dug and there's not much left but root crops in the vege patch. 
This is my quick and easy roast veg and gravy. Sorry there are no pics leading up to final outcome, but didn't think of it till I'd finished making it and it looked so good!.
-Made with a few root veg, an onion and pumpkin and some beans, cauli and corn.

Place any of at least 3 of the following  in a baking dish with a lid:
-washed and quartered potato,  beetroot,  swede or turnip (a little smaller as it takes longer), 1 red or white onion halved, a carrot in halved and couple pieces of cauliflower.
-squash and peel 3-4 cloves garlic and drop between vegetables.
-sprinkle a little olive oil and soy sauce over top, some freshly picked sage, rosemary and/ or thyme (like the song without the parsley) and some ground pepper. Use dried herbs if you haven't got fresh.
- put lid on and bake for 40 mins - 1 hour, or until done on about 180 (or higher if you're impatient or haven't got time) but they are a lot better cooked slowly.
-turn veges round in dish about half way through cooking time or when they start to change colour on top.

This is just the basics; it's delicious without the mushroom gravy or the greens or the vege/vegan sausages you see on the side, so you can have that next time!
