Now ...do you enjoy eating roasted vegetables? I do ...and if you should ever find yourself making too many, find they taste great the day after too! You can also use them in frittatas - quite yummy! This recipe idea comes from the wonderful Mary Berry and she adds feta, mint and basil when serving them ... delicious 😋
