TIPS & NOTES



Obviously you can switch up the vegetables in here; I recommend a mix of tomatoes, onions, peppers, a leafy green and a starchy vegetable. I make this directly in an ovenproof glass prep container so I can take that to the fridge in my office at eat it throughout the week. You can also cut this into thirds and have it as a lunch with a salad and chickpeas. Sometimes I just throw it on a platter with a bit of rye bread, some avocado and random leftovers that have been sat in my fridge, so it’s pretty versatile!
