Nigella Lawson Roasted Vegetables With Cheese image

The best roasted vegetable recipe ever - originally from British chef Nigella Lawson's TV show. Original recipe called for halloumi cheese, but as I have trouble finding it I use any salty cheese - goat feta is wonderful; your suggestions welcomed. Have served it at many dinner parties to rave reviews, but simple enough for a weeknight. Use a large (9x11) pan - it makes a deceptively large amount. Great reheated the next day or in pitas for lunch. Warning - once you try it, you'll get cravings. Goes great with any grilled or roasted meat or serve it as a vegetarian meal.

Time 55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large sweet potato
1 -2 large red potatoes
1 red onion
1 yellow bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1/2 head garlic (several cloves)
4 tablespoons olive oil (I try to use slightly less, but if you don't use enough, the veggies can be too dry.)
black pepper
125 g feta cheese, crumbled (or other salty cheese such as jarlsberg, halloumi)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Peel and cut the sweet potato into 2 inch cubes and put it in the pan. (Add each ingredient to the pan as you go.).
  • Cut the red potato(es) into slightly smaller cubes 1-1/2 cubes (because they are denser than the sweet potato so they need to be smaller to cook in the same amount of time).
  • Cut the red onion in the middle, then cut each half into 4-6 segments, discarding the dry outer skin. (the onion should still stay together in large chunks and will still have the end bit on).
  • Cut peppers into 1 inch chunks (discard seeds and stem).
  • Separate the cloves of garlic but no need to remove the skin.
  • Add the oil and mix everything together with your hands (it's fun).
  • Season with pepper, but no salt (it will make the dish watery).
  • Cook for 45-55 minutes until vegetables are cooked through and the tinged with brown.
  • Top with cheese and broil 5 minutes or so until brown.
  • (If you want to omit the cheese, you can add a bit of coarse salt before serving.).
  • Serve it right out of the pan at the table. Couldn't be easier or more delicious!
