A traybake to warm up winter days
Easy, colourful and just right for little kitchen helpers
When it’s cold outside and everyone’s hungry after school, a one-pan tea can be a lifesaver. This colourful winter veggie traybake is simple to prepare, easy to adapt to whatever’s in the fridge, and gives children a chance to get involved with making dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 carrots
- 2 parsnips
- 1 red onion
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 red pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- Black pepper, to taste
- Grated cheddar cheese, optional
Method
- Get ready: Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a large roasting tray with baking paper.
- Chop and mix: With an adult handling the sharp knife, chop the vegetables into similar-sized chunks. Children can help wash the veg, measure the oil and herbs, and mix everything together in a bowl.
- Into the oven: Spread the vegetables across the tray in a single layer. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.
- Make it your own: Sprinkle over a little grated cheddar for the final five minutes, if you fancy it.
Serve warm on its own or alongside your family’s favourites.
Top tip: Swap in sweet potato, butternut squash or whatever vegetables need using up. A handy way to make a chilly evening feel a little cosier, without creating a mountain of washing-up.
