    We are in the middle of January and I still enjoy roasting winter vegetables. Butternut squash, carrots, parsnips are so good, seasonal, healthy and budget friendly. I love them.
    This delicious roasted winter vegetable salad with feta is packed with flavors and it’s low in fat and calories.
    Plus, it keeps very well in the fridge alongside the other roasted vegetables and a baked frittata; perfect for a meal prep lunch.

    Save time and bake two pans at once: roast your vegetables and bake your protein-packed frittata at the same time.
    Add some grains, chickpeas and feta and make a yummy lunch that comes together in record time!

    What ingredients you need

    • Winter vegetables (butternut squash, carrots, parsnips)
    • Feta
    • Chickpeas
    • Eggs
    • Fresh herbs (optional)
    • Barley or other grains
    • Garlic
    • Lemon
    • Olive oil, salt & pepper

    How to make it

    Spread the butternut squash, carrots and parsnips into an even layer on a large baking sheet. Lightly drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper over the vegetables and bake on the top rack at 400 degrees for 25 minutes, flipping them once halfway through roasting.

    In the meanwhile beat eggs, season and a handful of shredded fresh herbs and pour the egg mixture into a baking pan.

    Bake on the bottom rack for 20 minutes until the frittata is golden and puffy and the centre feels firm.

    In a medium bowl combine your roasted squash, chickpeas, grains and feta cheese and toss with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and garlic.
    Now all that’s left is to assemble the meal prep containers: cut the frittata and spoon out the salad and other roasted vegetables.

      • Rich in protein/veggies/fiber
