Ingredients

400 gram butternut pumpkin

1 red onion (300g), cut into thin wedges

1 red capsicum (200g), sliced thickly

1 yellow capsicum (200g), sliced thickly

400 gram baby carrots, trimmed

2 tablespoon olive oil

400 gram canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed

2 tablespoon za'atar

1/4 cup (60ml) red wine vinegar

1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil, extra

100 gram feta, crumbled

1/3 cup lightly packed small fresh mint leaves

Method

1.Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F.

2.Cut unpeeled pumpkin into thin wedges; halve crossways. Place pumpkin, onion, capsicum and carrot, in a single layer, on a baking-paper-lined large oven tray; drizzle with half the oil, then season. Bake 25 minutes or until tender.

3.Meanwhile, place chickpeas on another baking-paper-lined oven tray. Drizzle with remaining oil, sprinkle with za’atar; toss gently to coat. Bake 25 minutes or until golden and crisp.

4.Whisk vinegar and extra oil together in a small bowl; season to taste.

5.Place vegetables and chickpeas on a serving platter; drizzle with vinegar mixture, top with feta and mint.

It is important to have the vegetables in a single layer so they roast quickly without steaming. If necessary, divide the vegetables between two trays.
