Chef's Tips
This is a beautiful side dish that compliments the Sunday Roast wonderfully. The hot olive oil simply bathes each of the vegetables and the flavours of the garlic marrying the herbs is just incredible... Each mouthful is seductive!
It's important to add a little herbs and garlic rather than too much because you can always add.
A great tip I find which one can apply to baking is that: if you can smell all the flavours, spices in their natural form (before cooking) then you know you got the right amount of flavours, so you stop while you're ahead!
I find this is a great way to enjoy the yellow pepper which sometimes doesn't always find it's way into our culinary dishes as it should, roasting these beautiful and colorful peppers only enhances the natural sweetness that they have and please include them!! So make sure you use the lovely red, orange, green, yellow peppers that are widely available in your local supermarkets!
