Delicious Summery Lemony Vegetables

Time: 20-30 mins

Serves: 3-4 (when served as side dish)

Summer is here and it’s the perfect time of year to rustle up some colorful veg. This is a perfect side dish which you can serve with chicken, fish, Quorn… the list is endless!

I recently picked up a number of my favorite veg on the way home from work, as I wanted to try cooking with coconut oil. Not only did the end result look fab, it tasty great with the simply seasoning and just the right amount of sweetness from the coconut oil and zing from the lemon.

Word of advice (from experience) if your veggie tray looks over loaded, split the veg into two separate trays. Squeezing them all into one tray will steam them and smush them together… trust me!

Serve immediately and enjoy!
