Root Vegetable and Rosemary Tray Bake
A root veg tray bake is an easy meal the whole family can enjoy. Root vegetables are great because they fill you up and are high in fibre, supporting a healthy digestive system. Root vegetables are also full of beta-carotene, supporting a strong immune system. There is some truth in the old tale that carrots help you see in the dark as beta-carotene can support healthy vision.
