The potato has headlined as the bill topping roasted vegetable for too long !
Yesterdays’ tomatoes were slow roasted. Today I cranked up the heat to 200c and put them in for 45 minutes. Treated the same way; salt, pepper, sugar, oil. Good flavour, slightly looser texture than slow roasted. These might actually hang round long enough to make it into a pasta or coucous dish .
As the oven was on I threw in some other vegetables. White , yellow, red beetroot . Yellow and green Courgettes. The beetroot was amazing.
So to conclude my roasting rhapsody – it’s not just the salad bowl that makes summer veg sing, a hot oven conducts a sizzler of a symphony too.
