Roast vegetables, seven ways

One tray of vegetables and a line of each gel. It looks like a restaurant and takes forty minutes.

Ingredients

  • 800 g Pumpkin
  • 500 g Carrots
  • 3 Red onions
  • 600 g Baby potatoes
  • 4 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • The Spectrum setOtherwise: any two or three good sauces

Method

  1. 01Cut everything to roughly the same size — this matters more than what the sizes are.
  2. 02Toss with oil and salt. Spread on two trays rather than crowding one; crowded vegetables steam.
  3. 03Roast at 220°C for 35–45 minutes, turning once, until the edges are properly dark.
  4. 04Arrange on a long platter and draw a line of each gel across, in spectrum order.
  5. 05Serve warm or at room temperature. It holds beautifully on a Shabbos table.

The bit that matters

220°C, not 180°C. The colour on the edges is the flavour, and a low oven gives you soft vegetables with none of it.
