Notes
Can I make it gluten free? Yes! Replace the soy sauce with tamari. The other sauce ingredients, such as sweet chilli sauce and lemongrass paste are usually gluten free, but it's best to check the specific brand.
Can I make it ahead? Yes, you can prepare in the morning or the night before by chopping the veggies and placing them on the tray in advance, covered. The recipe calls for the onions to be cooked on their own for 10 minutes first, but if you chop them smaller, you can add them with the rest of the veg. You can also mix up the sauce in advance and cover. So it's just a case of baking and drizzling come tea time.
What about leftovers? Quickly cool, cover and refrigerate leftovers. They taste great cold the next day as part of a salad with some cous cous. You can reheat them, covered, in the oven at 170C/325F for around 10 minutes if you like, but the vegetables will be softer after reheating.
Will it freeze? It freezes ok, but the vegetables are a lot softer once defrosted and reheated. If I freeze any leftovers, I just use them to add into rice or a stir fry as an added extra, rather than a meal in itself.
