Cinnamon & Cumin Roasted Winter Vegetables With Baked Halloumi

Cumin and cinnamon is such a powerful sweet and earthy spice combination: it transforms simple winter vegetables and this meal has a fantastic orchestra of flavours when cooked. Just omit the baked halloumi to make this completely plant-based.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.

Tumble the onions, squash and sprouts into a roasting tray, smother with 1 tbsp of the oil, plenty of salt and pepper and roast in the oven for 25 minutes.

Step 3

Add the cumin, cinnamon, chilli flakes, sumac, pitta and halloumi to the vegetables in the tray, toss with the remaining tbsp of oil and bake for a further 15 minutes until the pitta is crispy and golden and the halloumi is brown on the outside but soft and pillowy in the centre.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with extra sumac, fresh mint and an extra drizzle of oil.
