Halloumi and pepperoni vegetable bake
Of course you can omit the salami and make this a totally vegetarian dish, but fo rme, the crispy, meaty bite of pepperoni makes this vegetable bake so yummy.
Use whatever vegetables you have, either fresh or left-over. Pick what you fancy, not what I list here. As long as you bear in mind that the thickness of the vegetables determine how they cook, you can use whatever veg. you please.

- 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into fingers
- Half of a butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and sliced

- 3 pinches of curry powder
- Half a teaspoon of whole coriander seeds

Most of the basic ingredients
Method
- Add the dry spices to a large baking tray and jiggle well to distribute evenly
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix very well so tat everything is evenly mixed
- Bake for 35 minutes at the top of the oven, stirring and mixing well every 10 minutes or so
- Depending upon the types of vegetables you use, they may leech out large amounts of water which tends to steam the vegetables rather than roast them. If this happens, just drain and discard any excess every time you turn them

Chef's notes
If you don't have the whole spices or the fresh herbs, don;t worry, use what you have have available. Dried herbs work well in this recipe too.
