Roast Spring Veg with Lemon Mustard Dressing - Easy Easter Side

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 35 mins | Total: 50 mins | Quantity: serves 2

Ingredients

  • 300g (10 ounces) tenderstem broccoli
  • 180g (approx 10 spears) asparagus
  • 100g (1 cup) radishes
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard (substitute with English or Dijon mustard)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules/powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion granules/powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts
  • small handful soft herbs (basil, chives, dill, parsley) – chopped/shredded
  • 2 spring onions – trimmed and finely sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160 Fan / 180 C / 375 F / Gas 5 and line a large baking tray with parchment or a silicon mat
  2. Trim the asparagus by removing any of the tough, woody stem. Trim the radishes and cut in half
  3. Grate the zest from the lemon then squeeze the juice. Put into a large shallow bowl with the oil, mustard, onion and garlic granules, the dried rosemary and a good pinch each of salt and pepper
  4. Toss the trimmed asparagus in the dressing until well coated then lay onto a large lined baking tray
  5. Repeat with the broccoli and then the halved radishes
  6. Roast in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. You want the vegetables to be tender but still with a bit of bite
  7. While they're roasting toast some pine nuts (if using) in a dry frying pan. I do this over a very high heat (for speed) but watch them like a hawk. You can also toast them in the oven for a few minutes with the veggies - again keeping a very keen eye on them!
  8. When the vegetables are roasted, transfer to a warmed serving dish and sprinkle over the pine nuts, sliced spring onions and the fresh herbs
