Roast Vegetable Crumble Bake is just the kind of comfort food you want to come home to on a cold day. The roasted vegetables are covered in a tasty sauce and topped with a crunchy crumble topping, prepare ahead then just pop the casserole in the oven.
Savoury Crumble
I love a sweet Rhubarb Crumble or a Blackberry and Apple Crumble, so why not make a savoury crumble?
This recipe for Roast Vegetable Crumble Bake combines the intensified taste of roasted butternut squash, carrots, mushrooms, and fresh root ginger. These vegetables are covered with a creamy sauce, then topped with a crunchy crumble topping.
The Ingredients
Butternut Squash
Butternut squash is a really versatile squash. It has a touch skin so be careful when you are cutting it open.
Scoop out the seeds, cut off the hard skin and cut into chunks abut 3 cm square (ish).
Carrots
Carrots are a staple root vegetable, they add a lovely sweetness to soups and stews. Roast carrots for an even more intense flavour.
Mushrooms
Use any mushrooms you like. Closed cap mushrooms are the most common but it is now easier to get Chestnut mushrooms, Supermarkets often have boxes of mixed mushrooms which is nice to try for a change.
Add the mushrooms to the roasting pan right at the end of the roasting. Roasting the mushrooms intensifies the flavour, however, it also means that there is less liquid from the mushrooms released into the sauce because it evaporates off.
Ginger
Fresh root ginger has a lovely fresh and zingy flavour and it works really well with roasted roots and squashes. If you don’t like ginger then simply leave it out, the recipe works both with and without ginger.
Can I freeze the Roast Vegetable Crumble Bake?
Yes, you can freeze the finished crumble once you have assembled it. Before eating defrost thoroughly in the refrigerator, then bake in the oven at 170C for 40-45 minutes.
