The recipe — VEGE TARTINE

• 1 slice rustic sourdough, toasted
• 1/4 avocado or smashed great northern beans or refried beans
• 3 T extra virgin olive oil
• 1 t Greek herbs (or your favorite herb/spice blend or salt & pepper)
• 1 pattypan (scallop) squash or other summer squash, sliced
• 1 large green onion, white & a bit of green cut in long strips. Green tops: chopped & saved for garnish
• 1 carrot (enough for 8 diagonal carrot slices or more)
• 1 French radish sliced
• 1 handful of Russian Kale torn
• Fresh micro sprouts (garnish & health!)
• 1 t balsamic vinegar
• 1 T pickled onions or your favorite zing (capers, sauerkraut, olives, pickles, lemon peel, sriracha, salsa)
• 1 t (or more) hemp seeds (so healthy)
• Fresh coarsely ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400°F (convection speeds roasting time). Hand rub the veggies with 1 T (more if needed) olive oil & herbs. Place in specific vegetable type groups on roasting pan in case one cooks faster than another so they’re easy to take out. Bake about 10 minutes, checking after 5 (removing kale) until the veggies are done to your preference.

Meanwhile toast the bread & smash the avocado on it. Drizzle with oil. Layer the veggies on the toast. Drizzle with olive oil & balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with pickled onions, hemp hearts & black pepper.

Garnish with sprouts.

TRIPLE THE ROASTED VEGES — They’ll be delicious later!
