  • Can be barbecued, grilled or roasted.
  • These flavours can be used for meat too.
Honey

Honey

2-3 teaspoons. A runny, mild honey will work best (such as the English clear honey). Used correctly, honey will help the vegetables to caramelise, without adding too much sweetness.

Olive Oil

Half a cup of olive oil is used in this recipe, as we are creating a marinade to bathe the vegetables in. There is no need to use an expensive one, as most of the flavour comes from the herbs, spices and honey.
