Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Start finely chopping the vegetables until they’re diced into thin slices. Next, take your broccoli and break it into several small pieces. Lay them out on a baking tray, cover with olive oil and put them in the oven for 20 minutes.

While the broccoli is roasting, put a little olive oil in a large frying pan and start frying the diced vegetables. Cook on a medium heat until the onions go translucent.
