Roasted Baby Carrot Salad: Ingredients

• Baby carrots
• Zucchini
• Red onions
• Garlic
• Feta cheese
• Coriander
• Thyme

Clean up the baby carrots under cold running water, and cut off any excess green stalks. Place onto a tray with the roughly chopped onions and some thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper and a large drizzle of olive oil. Toss it all up and place in the oven at 200C/400F for about 12-15 minutes.

Slice the zucchini into thin slices and marinate with a little olive oil, sliced garlic and salt and pepper. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Heat up a large griddle pan and fry up the zucchini, so that they have nice grill marks on both sides.

Remove the veg from the oven and add to the zucchini. It’s super important not to over cook any of the veg. You want it all to retain that nice little crunch.

Add the chopped coriander.

Serve up on a plate, or family-style in the bowl itself, with the feta cheese sprinkled over the top.
