I often roast veg with the Richmond vegan sausages, but are you looking for more of a cauliflower cheese type thing with different veg and a sauce?

That sounds delicious Lucyr , I don’t mind what type to be honest , something different and yummy really 🙂 .

The Diabetes weight -loss cookbook by Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi has lots of really nice sounding low carb veggie recipes, I think you would be able to get most of the ingredients in Aus.
We like grilled halloumi with mushrooms and spinach or veggie moussaka.

This is one of our favourite roasted veg recipes: https://www.waitrose.com/home/recip...d_autumn_vegetables_with_halloumi_cheese.html

It is not super low carb but squash is less than potatoes and the halloumi will slow the carb digestion.

Other times, I'll just roast whatever veg I have and crumble feta over the top.
I find roasting makes cauliflower much more appetising than boiling, I've not tried broccoli but heard it is pretty good (and the florets will go crispy). Onions, courgettes, mushrooms, beetroot (although it takes longer than other veg) and peppers are all good.

If you eat fish, something like this (potatoes are optional) is tasty and easy - https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/one-pan-salmon-roast-asparagus
And this is what we do with fennel when we get it in our veg box: https://www.feastingathome.com/baked-haddock-with-roasted-tomato-and-fennel/

That looks really good with the halloumi, though you need a second mortgage for pinenuts.

I find a packet of pinenuts go a long way but if you are concerned about the cost, there is no reason why you cannot add other nuts or seeds. I imagine sunflower or pumpkin seeds would go well.
Or you can just miss them out - sometimes I do when I realise I have run out and it doesn't have a big impact on the dish.

I often tinker with recipes when I don't have or don't fancy all the ingredients.
My boyfriend thinks I have a problem following recipes because I tinker so often 🙄

On the cost side, I will often replace haddock with a cheaper white fish such as pollock.

I used to buy pinenuts to make my own pesto but they suddenly jumped in price.
I was given a bag of pinenuts in their shells which my son in law's mother had brought from Pakistan, what a phaff to get them out.

I love roasted Mediterranean Vegetables - whole garlic bulbs, red onions, courgettes, aubergine, tomatoes. You can roast those then add whatever accompaniments you like eg cheese, chickpeas, etc.

I also like to roast cauliflower pieces (large) covered in turmeric and other spices. They make a tasty meal. I have them with coconut quinoa, but you could choose whatever you want.

Thankyou so much for the different links of different options helli I really do appericate it 🙂. I’ll be trying them all . I’ve actually limited to non myself of potatoes , I have like a teaspoon of mash and that’s it , if I can avoid potato’s like I have 99% of the time I’m doing well . Pine nuts isn’t that really expensive where I am , it depends on how many grams you get . Here’s an example of cost . If I can’t find any I usually do pumpkin seeds which is great for the extra crunch 🙂

One of my go to recipes is a tweaked cauliflower cheese thing.
Either use fresh cauliflower but roast it first. Use the leaves as well as they add more texture and flavour.
Olive oil.
season with whatever you want… roast for 25 mins or so it’s just browning then whack the florets into a dish, more seasoning, bit of cream perhaps. Dot in a few cherry tomatoes, perhaps some protein if you fancy, and cover the whole lot with grated cheese.
If you want to prep it for another day just roast off the florets and let them cool completely in the fridge and then get the dish prepared, cover, and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to go. Whack it in the oven for 20-35 minutes depending on the protein you’re using (it works with tuna and is also great with chicken thighs, breasts, whatever) and then enjoy.

I tend to add a little smooched paprika as it goes into the oven to add another dimension to the flavour.

Because it’s so simple and isn’t swimming in béchamel it also works really well as a cold dish the next day. Sort of a cheesy roasted cauliflower salad!

I love the idea of "smooched paprika" but find it easier to find smoked paprika in the supermarket 🙄

(Sorry, I do not mean to laugh at you - hopefully, I am laughing with you and your typo.)
