Who says veg has to be boring? Our Chilli Roasted Greens are coated in an exciting glaze made with a simple combination of store cupboard herbs and spices. With punchy ginger, lime and fiery chilli in the mix, there’s no shortage of flavour here.
To give broccoli florets, courgette slices, asparagus and green beans an aromatic makeover, we’ve used a surprising ingredient as part of our glaze: a plant-based coconut milk alternative. Not only does it keep things dairy-free and vegan, it also makes sure all of our veg is nicely coated, without ramping up the calories.
This recipe is fairly spicy to begin with. If you aren’t a fan of spice, you can always reduce the amount of fresh chilli by half. The fiery heat is what makes this side dish such a gorgeous accompaniment for a variety of mains, including chicken, duck, fish or tofu.

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Step 2
Add the broccoli, courgette, green beans and asparagus to a roasting tin. Spray with low-calorie cooking spray and pop into the oven for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Combine the coconut milk, garlic, ginger, onion granules, turmeric and lime juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Once the vegetables have roasted for 10 minutes, pour over the coconut milk mix and toss the vegetables lightly to coat. Sprinkle over the red chilli and cook for a further 10 minutes.
Step 5
The vegetables should still have a crunch and should just be starting to brown round the edges. If you would like them a little softer, cook for an extra 5 minutes or to your liking.
