Roasted Veg with Camembert Fondue

Recipe: Jamie Oliver

“Everything tastes better with oozy melted cheese and here, humble veg sing after a gentle roast.” – Jamie Oliver

Ingredients

  • 3 sweet potatoes (1¾ lbs. total)
  • 3 mixed-color bell peppers
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 3 mixed-color onions
  • 9 oz. Camembert cheese
  • 1 French baguette
  • ½ bunch of basil (½ oz.)

Directions

Yield: Serves 6

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub sweet potatoes and slice into ½”-thick rounds. Seed peppers and slice into chunky wedges. Peel and slice garlic. Toss all in large roasting pan with 1 tbsp each of olive oil and red wine vinegar and pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
  2. Halve unpeeled onions and carefully place cut-side down directly on oven rack, placing roasting pan of veg beneath. Roast for 45 minutes.
  3. Remove roasting pan from oven and use tongs to move onions to your board, then remove skins, break onions apart and toss with veg.
  4. Leaving ½” rim around edge, cut rind off top of Camembert, then nestle into middle of roasting pan, drizzle with a little oil, season with black pepper and bake for final 10 minutes, warming baguette alongside. Pick over basil leaves, and serve!
