Vegetarian Recipe Cooking Suggestion

1 carrot, scrubbed

2 plantains, peeled

½ butternut squash, peeled

1 red or green pepper, cored and deseeded

4 garlic cloves, skin on & slightly smashed

1tsp paprika

Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

3 tbsp olive oil, rapeseed oil or coconut oil

1 tsp dried thyme or 4 sprigs of fresh thyme

Ingredients for the vegetarian recipe

  • Heat the oven to 180C Fan/200C and prepare a roasting tray. Scrub the carrots, cut 1 cm off both ends of the carrot and plantains. For the plantain, make a light incision into the skin, lengthways and peel off like you would a banana. Cut both in half lengthways and then cut widthways to 2.5cm chunks. 
  • For the squash, once peeled, cut into quarters and then small chunks as done with the other veg. For the bell pepper, remove the stalk and seeds, cut into quarters and then cut into 2.5 cm chunks. This is just a guide, feel free to cut your veggies slightly larger if you prefer.
  • Season well with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and paprika. Pour in the oil, add the thyme and mix well to coat all sides. Keep the bell peppers aside and at 10 minutes after the rest of the veg as this will cook the fastest.
  • Tip seasoned veg onto the roasting tray and tuck the slightly smashed garlic cloves in as well. Bake for up 30-35 minutes or until the plantain is a dark golden hue, the carrots and squash should be soft. Don’t forget to add the peppers 10 minutes into bake time. 
  • Once roasted, take out of the oven and serve with the luxurious butter we will prepare live!

Calming smell and non greasy. Great packaging. The smell is so calming, fresh, clean and relaxing. Hand cream is very effective for dry skin, non greasy and last very long. Body scrub exfoliates my skin and removes my dead skin cells. I love the oil as it soothes..
