Roast Veg

I recently visited my best friend's house, and her mum gave me a tonne of fresh vegetables from her garden to take home. How lovely is she?! I had a selection of red pepper, aubergines, string beans & tomatoes. I was trying to figure out what to do with them & Ella's mum suggested roasting them so I thought that might be tasty. I had some sweet potato & mushroom to use up in the cupboard as well so I chucked that in too. The outcome was possibly one of my favourite dinners, and it left me with plenty of leftovers for a lunch box the day after. It's a brilliant way to use up any spare veg you have in such a healthy & easy way. Recipe is below...

Roast veg fresh out of the oven

Veggies topped with roast chicken and feta cheese

Leftovers for lunch the day after

Ingredients

1 sweet potato

1/2 large aubergine

1 large tomato chopped

1/2 red pepper

handful of mushrooms

handful of string beans

+ any other veg you have

1 tbsp oil (I used carotene oil)

1 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp cayenne pepper

salt & pepper to season

1 chicken breast

20g feta cheese

Instructions

1. Pre heat oven to gas mark 6

2.  Chop vegetables into chunks

3. Put vegetables into a baking tray and drizzle the oil over the top

4. Season with the spices, salt & pepper. Mix the veg around to spread the oil and spices evenly

5. Put into the top shelf of the oven for 40 minutes

6. Whilst the veg is cooking, grill your chicken breast for 20 minutes, turning once

7. Place a pile of the cooked veg in the middle of your plate and put the chicken breast on top, then sprinkle the feta over the top

Devour!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Who am I?

I have just realised that I haven't actually posted any pictures of myself on this blog yet. This is
mainly meant to be a food blog, but I think it's important to show the progress I have made during my clean eating journey. It's also super helpful for myself, to be able to see how far I have come. We all have days where we think we are making slow progress, or no progress at all & pictures are a really useful way to pick yourself up when you feel demotivated.
