There is something about roasting vegetables that really seems to bring out their flavour, along with a delicious sweetness that isn't there when you sauté or boil them. So for a super tasty and easy roast vegetable chilli, this is where I started.
After roasting until tender, the vegetables are tossed in a simple tomato and chilli flavoured sauce before serving on a bed of rice or couscous. It's quick, easy, and cheap to make and very, very tasty. What more can you want?
