Oven vegetables are always a good choice for using regional vegetables or using up leftovers. Paired with creamy mashed potatoes and garnished with cress microgreens, it becomes a festive meal.

A delicious option for oven-roasted vegetables are Brussels sprouts and carrots. Especially with smoked paprika, it harmonizes perfectly with the creamy mashed potatoes, which you can add a lemony note to if you like. It is well known that cabbage is particularly healthy. It is particularly rich in vitamins A and C and contains lots of iron, calcium and magnesium. The bitter substances in Brussels sprouts also stimulate digestion and can even have a calming effect on the stomach lining. Carrots contain mainly vitamin A and biotin, which have a positive effect on the eyes and on fat and protein metabolism. The potato is an extremely important source of antioxidants in our diet. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is full of vitamin C and vitamin B, folic acid, copper, phosphate, potassium and sulfur.

In this combination, the native vegetables are impressive and make an inviting dinner. The tasty marinade and the different consistencies in the food make it particularly tasty. The dish is ready to eat in 40 minutes and does not require full attention throughout. You can also cook/fry it from time to time.

The whole thing is garnished with garden cress microgreens , which make a great eye-catcher and give the dish a fresh, slightly peppery note. It is also full of vitamin E, folic acid and vitamin B.
