Before you start

Preheat oven to 180℃ | 2 x baking tray | 4 x tupperware boxes

Cook the veggies

  • Put the “Roast Vegetables” ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir them around until you’ve covered everything in flavour
  • Put the “Roast Vegetables” on a roasting tray and bake them for 20 mins

Bake the nuts

  • Crush your “Mixed Nuts” in to pieces, put them on a baking tray and bake them for 12-15 minutes

Make the base

  • Put all the “Base” ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix them together with a wooden spoon
  • Add the "Mixed Nuts" to the bowl containing the “Base”, mix them round and then split the base across four Tupperware boxes

Add to the tupperware

  • Add the Roast Vegetables to the boxes

Finish the boxes

  • Dress your lunches with the “To Serve” ingredients (repeat this process in the mornings before you leave for work - this will ensure your lunch will taste as fresh as possible).
