Method

  1. Step 1 — Prep vegetables
    Preheat the oven to 200C, fan-forced. Line a large oven tray with baking paper. Cut the unpeeled sweet potatoes into 1.5cm chunks. Coarsely chop the cauliflower stem, then cut the head into small florets. Thinly slice the capsicum. Cut the onion into thin wedges.
  2. Step 2 — Roast vegetables
    Put the sweet potato, cauliflower, capsicum and onion on the lined tray. Drizzle with 1 tbs olive oil and scatter with the barbecue seasoning, then toss to coat. Roast for 20-25 mins until golden and tender.
  3. Step 3 — Make dressing
    Meanwhile, combine the red pesto, 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil and 2 tsp red wine vinegar in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
