Sam's veggie roast dinner

Gear

Ingredients

Serves = 4

1 large onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, diced

1 small broccoli, chopped

1 small cauliflower, chopped

1 small leek, chopped

1 large tomato, diced

1 large carrot, chopped

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon mixed herbs

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon black pepper

400g can butter beans (no added salt), rinsed and drained

210g can tinned salmon in olive oil, drained

It’s this easy

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  2. Place the onion, broccoli, cauliflower, leek, tomato and carrot on a roasting tray.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and add the mixed herbs, garlic, paprika and black pepper. Mix so that all the veggies are coated.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes until the veggies are golden brown.
  5. Remove the roasting tray from the oven, add the butter beans and salmon and mix to combine.

Tweaks

  • Serve with roasted potatoes for a classic roast dinner.
  • This is great recipe to use up any vegetables you have lying around - capsicum, sweet potato, pumpkin, zucchini all roast well
  • Instead of using salmon, you can use other tinned fish such as mackerel or tuna, or another protein like shredded chicken.
  • You can swap the butter beans for any legumes - why not try chickpeas, black beans or a 4-bean mix
  • Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

  1. vegetables and legumes/bean
  2. fruit
  3. lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
  4. grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
  5. milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

By completing the Healthy Eating Quiz you’ll receive instant personalised feedback and a report on your diet quality to highlight any areas where you can improve your overall eating habits.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
