Super easy vegetarian one tray baked veg

Hopefully you are into this because let’s be real, it’s been a whole lot of one pan wonders lately and with this lockdown coming in the UK I am totally here for it. This one is packed with all the goodies (I’m looking at you mushrooms and melted cheese) and has me crawling back to the oven tray for more...

Ingredients:
3 large Roma tomatoes, sliced into 1cm wide pieces
2 large red peppers, sliced into 1cm wide pieces
6 mushrooms, whole
1 yellow onion, sliced
2-3 smashed garlic cloves
2 good glugs (4 tbsp) olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika or cayenne pepper
Sprinkle of salt and pepper
½ pack grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese

Oven preheated to 180C fan, put everything into a ceramic dish (glass or metal work, too) mix so that olive oil and seasoning has coated everything and then pop into the oven for 20 minutes, mixing halfway through. I like my onions browned and my pepper and tomatoes softened, so leave in until desired cook-length, but I take mine out around 20-25 mins. Important to make sure the mushrooms have olive oil or they may dry out, you can rescue them by adding olive oil during the cooking process but if you start them oiled up, they’ll cook better. About 5 mins before it’s done, add grated cheddar or mozzarella (from a pack is fine) and let melt on top, getting a little brown and crispy.

I’m feeling the comforting cheesy love today, and I’m excited for new things, photoshoots and lots of food in the coming weeks.
