  • 2 teaspoons white sugar (8g)
  • 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped


Method



  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Place pumpkin, potatoes and onions on a large baking tray. Spray lightly with oil. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Roast for 40 minutes.


  • Add tomatoes to baking tray and roast for a further 20 minutes.


  • Transfer roast vegetables to a large bowl. Add chickpeas. Whisk oil, 1/2 cup lemon juice, garlic and sugar in a jug until well combined. Pour over vegetables. Add parsley and toss gently to combine. Serve.

  • Stir leftovers through cooked rice, pasta or couscous for a new healthy main.

  • You could offer this as a side dish and small portions for lower points. For example if you served 6 the points would be 4 points
