In her TikTok video, Emily explained she arranges the pepper, tomatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, and butter beans on a baking tray lined with baking paper. She then drizzles the whole tray with olive oil and seasons with the salt, mixed herbs, and chilli flakes.
She then places the tray in her fan oven at 200C (180C for a conventional oven, or gas mark 6) for 35 minutes. Once the veggies are roasted, she combines them with the hummus and balsamic vinegar.
