This 'recipe' first appeared long long ago on our app. Did you know we were the first Thermomix recipe app out there?? (You may have still been a child. But yes. We were.) Alas it is no more. It was a big hit, even made the top ten list of foodie apps in Australia along with Nigella. Need I say more? The Sydney Morning Herald is never wrong about these things!

To call this a recipe is a bit of a stretch…it is one of those mere suggestions, and dare I say it? You could do this without the use of your Thermomix. We often eat this without the chicken, just as a veggie dish to accompany other food, roasted salmon for example.

Make sure you have plenty of time for the roasting, as the stickiness of the veggies is what makes this one so appealing. Enjoy!
