I’ve “discovered” roasted veggies just this autumn (I’m a little ashamed that it took me so long!) and have been obsessed with them ever since, specially with roasted broccoli and cauliflower. My favorite way of eating them (for now!) is in salad with a simple yogurt dressing. And with a lot of ground pepper. :)
Thank you for your suggestions, Sophie! They sound great, will have to try them. :)

No wonder you’re not jealous of our Spring bounty down here, when you have these gorgeous roasted vegetables. I agree with you about Autumn being a wonderful vegetable month and I love the idea of the chillies and slivers of lemon tucked in amongst the vegies.
I find roasted vegies are a great thing to do at the end of the week, to use up whatever is left in the fridge. My most common way of making roasted veg is to toss with a north African spice mix, like chermoula or ras el hanout and then roast. And from there you can use them with chickpeas and tahini dressing in a salad or blitz into a gorgeous soup. Or I quite often just stir through some lemon juice and a fresh herb to have with whatever else we’re eating.

That’s an inspiring look at roast veggies, and I’ve been wondering what it is that you do with celeriac. I’ll try it roasted.

I’m with you, Sophie, on enjoying this season’s vegetables & warm, tasty ways of preparing them. Lovely suggestions for flavouring them — the maple and ginger really appeal to me.
Gorgeous photos, too. I love how the colours of the autumn leaves are repeated in the roasted vegetables.

oh yes, pesto is a brilliant idea. We’ve been using dollop of sweet chilli sauce too when we’ve needed some extra flavour (the kind that isn’t too sugary but keeps well in the fridge for several weeks)

I agree, there is nothing like a bowl of roasted veggies. I mix them with pesto, or soup them!
