Tips

  • This recipe is an excellent source of fibre. Eating a diet high in fibre can help reduce your risk of bowel cancer. 
  • Eat different coloured vegetables every day to get a variety of nutrients.  
  • Sweet potato and carrots provide beta carotene. Beta carotene is important for normal vision. 

  • Store leftovers in an air-tight container. 
  • You can eat the green leaves on fresh beetroot in a salad.  
  • You don’t have to peel the carrot and sweet potato. Just wash well. 

  • Buy ‘Odd Bunch’, ‘I’m Perfect’ or ‘Imperfect Picks’ vegetables to save money. 
  • To save money try growing your own herbs, like rosemary and thyme, in the garden or in pots.  

Method

Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 190oC. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2
Slice all the vegetables into thin rounds with a knife. Alternatively, use a mandolin if you have one.

Step 3
Spread the sliced vegetables out on paper towels or a clean tea towel and blot dry to ensure they’re as dry as possible.

Step 4
Spread the vegetables and herbs on the tray and lightly brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with a dash of salt.

Step 5
Bake for approximately 20 minutes, checking every 5 minutes to ensure they’re not burning. Remove any that are brown and crispy before the others.

Tips
Beetroot stains, so protect your benchtops and wear gloves when peeling and slicing it.
