Deliciously healthy veggie and haloumi bake

This delicious bake can be a meal on its own, a side dish, or a tasty lunch for any occasion.

This recipe packs a real punch for flavour, and it’s super simple and healthy at the same time. What could be better?

You can throw in whichever veggies you love most, and adjust the recipe to your personal tastes. The haloumi (or “squeaky cheese” as it often gets called) adds a good bit of protein to complete the meal nutritionally, and you can use up any veggies that may be going to waste in your fridge. 

It’s a great way to stretch your groceries at the end of the week before shopping day.
