When it comes to roasted veggies, courgette is one of our favourites. First of all, it's FAST! (No shade, roasted beets.) Courgette gets tender in no time at all, so make sure to start checking them early to ensure they're not turning to complete mush.

Tofu gets a bad rap for being flavourless, boring, and at times undesirably rubbery—but the hate is undeserved. Avoid thinking of it as a meat substitute, let it exist on its own terms, as its own thing, and be surprised by what it has to offer. Treat it kindly and you'll be rewarded with a versatile protein that can play the field as a sweet or savoury ingredient.

When we're looking for a spicy, flavourful side to brighten up our dinner, we turn to Bang Bang Cauliflower. Not only is it quick and easy, but the dish is super adaptable. Not a fan of spice?

Carrot and coriander soup is a classic soup for a reason. This version picks up a little spice from the jalapeños and draws out the sweetness from the carrots by roasting them first.
