• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pre-heat the oven to 220C/200C fan.

   Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly until they can be handled.

5. 5

   Scoop the centre from the roasted vegetables and place into a large bowl or pan.

6. 6

   Use a hand blender to whizz the vegetables until smooth (if you don't have a hand blender then you can also use a blender, masher or fork to achieve a similar effect).

   Add the olive oil (1 tsp).

8. 8

   Season with salt and pepper.

9. 9

   Whizz (stir) to ensure that the oil and seasoning are evenly distributed. If the mash has cooled slightly then reheat on a gentle heat on the hob until hot through.
