Ingredients

• 2 red capsicums
• 2 red onions
• 8 rosemary sprigs
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp cracked pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220˚C.

Cut capsicum and onion into 5 cm cubes and thread onto rosemary (you may need to peel some of the needles off).

Drizzle with oil, season well and place on a shallow roasting tray. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

Note

• The sweet capsicum pairs perfectly with the spicy onion and the earthy rosemary, but you can use whatever vegetables that hold their shape once cooked. Add cubes of firm fish like ling or salmon to make it a meal.
