Serving Options:

Warm Option (Post-Roast Drizzle):

  • Best for: Roasted or grilled veg straight out of the oven/pan.
  • How: Roast your veggies as usual, then toss them in the marinade while they’re still warm. The heat helps soak up all that zingy flavour.
  • Vibe: Juicy, punchy, warm salad-style side.

Cold Option (Pre-Marinade):

  • Best for: Meal prep or summer salads.
  • How: Roast your veg, let them cool, then toss in the marinade and chill for at least 30 mins.
  • Vibe: Bold, tangy, chilled roast veg salad.
