Mixed roasted vegetables recipe

Great news – not peeling your veg isn’t lazy, it’s good for you. Nutritionists are advising us to stop peeling as much of our veg as possible, and that includes all our root veg.

Carrots, parsnips, turnips, beetroot – the skins are packed with essential nutrients including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre, all of which fight disease and keep your body ticking along nicely. We love this summery skins-on roasted veg dish.
