Wonderful. I didn't have any squash so used chopped fennel and red peppers. Served as a main course on a big bed of rocket and shredded basil and mint. Drizzled a little olive/chilli oil to serve. Looked great and really enjoyed it. Will def make again with any combination of roasted Mediterranean veg.
Very easy and very lovely! I cut the sugar to 1 tbsp as 2tbsp sounded like a lot to add to what are already sweet vegetables. Roasted a little longer and added feta instead of goats cheese and some pumpkin seeds instead of almonds. I had planned to serve this alongside some chicken but decided that it was a meal in itself and needed nothing else! Will make again and try with the goats cheese next time. Looked gorgeous too.
