Roasted Veg
This is an awesomely flexible dinner. You basically chop everything up, douse it in oil and some salt, pepper or whichever spices you're in the mood for (or grab first!) and chuck it in the oven for an hour or so.

Directions
Pre heat the oven to Gas Mark 6.
The only thing which takes some practice is how long things take to cook, the smaller you chop them the quicker they will cook. So you want to make the slowest-cooking things smallest. In this particular mix the potatos take far longer to cook than anything else, so chop them first. Put them in a bowl (with a dollop of margarine and a little garlic powder/puree if you fancy) and microwave them for 5 minutes to give them a heaad start.
Meanwhile chop everything else, add them to a deep baking tray and drizzle some olive oil on top. Add some salt and pepper and get your hands greasy mixing it all up and put it in the oven. Once the potatos are done in the microwave add them on top.
Keep an eye on it, check it every 20minutes or so and stir it around a little. It should take about an hour.
For the last 5 minutes or so, put the pita bread on top to warm up and soak up a little of the flavour. When it's done, spoon it in to a bowl and serve with the pita and a fork.
