Roast vegetables is one of the easiest things to make and I make it a lot because no real effort is involved here.

Recently, I was given a ‘No MSG added’ seasoning made by Knorr - an Aromat. Now before you switch off and wheel into a space of judgment about this brand, hear me out.

This particular seasoning is made from salt, maize flour, sugar, yeast extract, mushrooms, vegetable oil, turmeric, garlic, celery, onions and bay leaves. Firstly, it’s not gluten-free because of the yeast extract, and secondly it’s not vegan. So if you fit into one of these two categories then this recipe won’t work for you.

I roasted my vegetables with the Knorr seasoning, a tiny amount of salt, some thyme and pepper and it came out delicious. It was different to my usual roast vegetables and if you come across it in the isles of Checkers of Pick n Pay, I urge you to give a try as well.
