How to cook deliciously - Smoky roasted veg, marinated feta & lime

1. Stage

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Break the cauliflower into florets. Trim then chop the thick stem into small chunks and keep any leaves. Halve the squash lengthways, scrape out and keep the seeds, then cut the flesh into 5mm half moons. Put the veg in a roasting tin with 2 tbsp oil, the spices and some seasoning, then rub with your hands to coat. Roast for 45 mins, turning the veg a few times, until golden and tender. Add the leaves (large ones shredded) halfway through.

2. Stage

For the feta, pour the oil into a pan, add the chilli, garlic, rosemary and some pepper and heat for 5 mins. Put the feta in a dish, and pour the oil and aromatics over it. Leave at room temperature while you finish cooking, basting regularly so it soaks up the oil.

3. Stage

Rinse the squash seeds in a sieve, shake off as much water as you can, then toss with 1 tsp oil in a roasting tin.

4. Stage

Take out the veg and reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roast the seeds for 5 mins, splash with soy, then cook until dark and crisp, about 5 mins more.

5. Stage

Put the veg on a platter and douse with lime juice. Sit the feta on top, spoon the oil around and sprinkle with the seeds. Serve with crusty bread or flatbreads.
