A warming vegetable and butter bean bake with squash, carrots, courgette, tomatoes and a crunchy seed topping.
Butter beans provide fibre and plant protein, while the mixture of winter vegetables increases plant variety. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds add texture, fibre and unsaturated fats.
Method
- 1 Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- 2 Toss the squash and carrots with the olive oil in a large baking dish and roast for 15 minutes to give them a head start, since they take longer to cook than the other vegetables.
- 3 Add the courgette, butter beans, tomatoes, thyme and oregano and stir to combine.
- 4 Return to the oven for 20 minutes, until the squash and carrots are tender when pierced with a knife.
- 5 Sprinkle the pumpkin and sunflower seeds evenly over the top.
- 6 Bake for another 5–10 minutes, watching towards the end, until the seeds are lightly toasted and the vegetables are fully tender.
- 7 Season with black pepper and serve warm straight from the dish.
