There are SO many delicious ways to roast veggies ~ autumn is THE perfect time to enjoy the harvest and this dish is high on the 'comfort food that's good for you' scale! It was one of those days when we felt like something warm and nourishing and this just came together to create a family favourite! We have enjoyed it as a vegetarian main or as a side dish and we've added a small amount of chopped spicy sausage on occasion. Don't have the same veggies in your kitchen? Substitute what you have.
Here's what's in this yummy dish:
Sweet potatoes are high in fibre, an excellent source of potassium and good sources of Vitamins A & C. They are low in sodium. This combination of high potassium and low sodium content makes them an excellent choice for those wanting to control blood pressure issues.
Onions - helps to fight colds, inflammation, helps vitamin C to work better in the body
Cauliflower contains many of the B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K as well as a good source of vitamin C and manganese; powerful antioxidants. Anti-cancer properties are well researched
