This tray bake is a great accompaniment to BBQ meats, hot or cold roasts, or on its own with crusty bread.  

Don’t omit the nutmeg; it is what makes this dish flavoursome.

These quantities serve four adults as a side dish. 

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius. 

Ingredients 

  • 200 g sweet potato cut into bite-sized chunks 
  • 200 g potato cut into bite-sized chunks 
  • 200 g of cauliflower or broccoli florets 
  • 100 g of carrots cut into rustic chunks 
  • 200 g of green beans halved 
  • 1 tbsp olive oil 
  • 2 tsp vegetable rub (chimichurri seasoning or 1 tsp dried oregano and 1 tsp dried rosemary would make alternatives) 

Method 

  1. Place the vegetables except the beans into a roasting pan or similar oven safe tray. 
  2. Sprinkle with herbs and oil. Mix to thoroughly coat the vegetables.  
  3. Place in the oven for 10 minutes. 
  4. Make the sauce whilst the vegetables are in the oven. 

Sauce 

  • 200 ml vegetable stock 
  • 200 ml greek yoghurt – for a special occasion use cream or crème fraiche 
  • 2 tbsp cornflour, mixed to a paste with 4 tbsp of water 
  • Stir 1 tsp each of onion powder and garlic powder into the paste 
  • Season with ½ tsp each of black pepper and nutmeg 
  1. Mix all ingredients together in a small saucepan and cook over a medium heat until the sauce thickens. 
  2. Remove vegetables from the oven and spread the beans over the mix. 
  3. Pour over the sauce and cover with foil then return to the oven to roast for 40 minutes. 
  4. Remove the foil, sprinkle with 150grms of grated cheese – cheddar or mozzarella work well. 
  5. Return to the oven for 5 minutes or use the grill to melt the cheese.
