Roasted Root Vegetables with Feta
Welcome to my series of weekly family meals. I’ll share my favourite fresh, nutritious, easy and quick meals for the whole family to enjoy. Where possible, we always eat and cook with organic ingredients. I like to buy the freshest produce for my family to ensure we’re getting the essential vitamins and minerals we need through our food.
This week’s Family Meal is Roasted Root Vegetables with Feta. It’s a tasty way to give your family lots of healthy veg. It’s a delicious combination of root vegetables served with beetroot, broccoli and crumbled feta. Serve warm or prepare in advance until the family is ready to eat.

Let’s Make Roasted Root Vegetables with Feta
1. Wash, peel and dice the root vegetables (Carrots and Potatoes) into cubes. Boil until soft and drain.
