Description

It’s super handy for using up bits and pieces from previous meal creations, saves on food waste and spoilage and puts more back in your pocket.

Sometimes we have late nights at the office and sometimes we simply can’t be bothered standing over a stove, preparing meat, constantly checking, turning, testing… Other times we just haven’t done the groceries yet… But you can put away your purse/wallet, forget take away and put off the groceries for another day.. and throw something tasty together with what’s left in the crisper.

From time to time we come across a few vegies left in the crisper that don’t look like they’ll last more than another day or two, and it always seems to be “one of this” and if we’re lucky, “two or three of that”. And of course, simply not enough to make a meal for a family. Rather than leaving them to die off in their last few days or tossing them in the bin, toss them into a roasting pan with a few staple vegetables and have a yummy, healthier, cost and waste effective meal that can also double as lunch leftovers for work and school.

We’ve given you some ideas with our ingredients list, but truthfully you can use whatever you have in the fridge/pantry. Not to mention, it requires all of 5-10 minutes prep and 40 minutes cooking time.
