Pumpkin, sweet potato and sage is a match made in heaven. I enjoy this Bit on the Side with roast or barbecued meats or even a piece of oven baked fish. Of course, it’s so fast and filling, you can tuck into it on its own!

Ingredients

- Wash and cut up the vegetables into sticks (leave skin on if you like).
- Add ghee or coconut oil to the baking dish.
- Throw in the vegetables and drizzle over a little ghee or coconut oil, a shake of sea salt and pepper and toss through.
- Scatter the ripped sage over the top.
- Take the 1/2 fresh lemon (organic only please) and tuck it into the side of the dish, flesh side up.
- Put the dish in a 180C oven for about 40 minutes. If it begins to burn on top, cover in foil to cook through.
- Remove from the oven one vegetables are to your preferred softness.
- Use tongs to grab the hot lemon and squeeze the juice over the vegetables (be careful not to burn yourself).
- Add a little cold lemon oil, sea salt and pepper to taste when serving.
Always opt for organic ingredients where possible.
