- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 15 mins
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 1x
Ingredients
- 2 bunches of purple, yellow and orange heirloom carrots
- 1 bunch spring onions
- 1 tablespoon good quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
Instructions
- Wash the root vegetables thoroughly under water. Wipe off any dirt. Chop of the green, leafy part and save then for other recipes. I chop them and mix with flour to make parathas, poori, roti or can use then in veggie burgers or rice pilaf.
- Cut the onions from the middle into two. Toss the vegetables with olive oil and bake them at 400 deg. for approximately 12-15 minutes.
- Once baked, pull the vegetables out, sprinkle chaat masala on top and serve with a cooler or chai.
