  • 1 Peeler (for carrots)
  • 1 food scales
  • 1 Roasting Tin

Ingredients
  

  • 2 red onions, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and cut into wedges
  • 1 large courgette, sliced
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 250 g butternut squash, deseeded and cut into chunks (do not peel for more fibre!)
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 35 g kale, chopped
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 4 150g salmon fillets

Instructions
 

  • Place the onions, peppers, courgette, carrot and butternut into a large roasting tray. Sprinkle with the olive oil, cumin seeds and pepper.
  • Put the tray in the oven and heat to 220°C, 200°C fan, Gas Mark 8 (no need to pre-heat the oven as this wastes energy). Roast for 20 minutes, tossing the vegetables just once.
