Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Cut the broccoli into florets. Peel and halve the squash lengthways, discard the seeds, and cut into 2cm cubes. Place the veg on a lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil and a pinch of seasoning.
  2. Halve the potatoes. Place on a separate lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil and a pinch of seasoning. Strip the rosemary and thyme leaves from the stalks and finely chop, then sprinkle over both trays. Roast for 20-25 mins, until all the veg is soft and golden.
  3. Finely dice the shallots. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Heat a medium ovenproof frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  4. Add the flour to the pan and stir for 1 min. Gradually pour in the cream and 100ml water. Add the nutritional yeast and simmer for 4-5 mins, until the sauce thickens.
  5. Add the roasted broccoli and squash to the sauce. Season to taste. Halve the lemon, then squeeze in the juice from half the lemon. Scatter over the pumpkin seeds. Bake for 5 mins, until golden brown.
  6. Serve the veggie bake with the potatoes and remaining lemon, as wedges.
