- Preheat your oven to 180C
- Cut the onions and capsicum into slices and throw them in a tray along with the cherry tomatoes , drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper
- Cover the tray with foil, and pop in the oven for 20 minutes at 180C.
- Take the foil off and cook for another 20 minutes, until the veggies start to caramelise (turn golden brown at the edges)
- Take the tray out, add in the cooked grain and herbs into the same tray so that they can soak all the delicious flavour from the veggies and their juices.
- Season to taste, and throw over the fresh bramhi leaves on top. Done! Your veggie tray bake is ready.
