Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g ripe cherry tomatoes
  • 250 g carrots peeled, diced
  • 250 g sweet potato peeled, diced
  • 2 red peppers diced
  • 2 red onion diced
  • 1 pack of feta 200g
  • 1 bulb of garlic cut the top to expose the cloves
  • 1 tbsp dried herbs or oregano
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • A good pinch salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp oil - to coat the veggies

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven 180ºc fan.
  • Chop and add all the ingredients to a large oven dish or deep roasting tin.
  • Put the garlic into a foil parcel with a drizzle of oil, add that in the dish too.
  • Cover tightly with a sheet of foil.
  • Roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes until everything is nice and soft, check that the garlic is cooked - if it’s still hard put the parcel back in the oven for a further few minutes.
  • Pour everything into a blender and squeeze in the roasted garlic cloves. Blend until nice and smooth.
  • Airfryer: 180ºc Cook everything in the air fryer basket for about 20 minutes, check it and give it a shake half way through. As above, the garlic might take longer.
  • Add to pasta - cook the pasta to your liking pour over the warm sauce, stir to coat, serve up with a sprinkle of parmesan and chopped parsley (optional).
  • Freeze the extra: this will keep really well for 3 months in the freezer. Defrost overnight in a container in the fridge or defrost right away in the microwave for a quick dinner.
