– 2-3 Tbsp of olive oil (optional)
– 2 cups roasted vege (e.g. potato, pumpkin, parsnip, cauliflower, kumara). Add any herbs/spices you like before roasting.
– Salad dressing (check out our recipe) or use your family-favourite.
– Toppings (e.g. chopped herbs, toasted nuts and seeds, finely chopped red onion and/or tomato)

This is a great way to use up leftover roast vege, or to use up older vege in your fridge/pantry.
For extra crunch, add a tin of drained chickpeas to your vege before roasting.
