How To Make Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Med Veg & Epic Tomato Dressing

1. Roast Onions and Garlic: Place peeled onions, halved lemon, and whole garlic bulb (unpeeled) in the small drawer (shelf removed). Cook at 200ºC for 40 minutes, removing the lemon after 15 minutes.
2. Cook Aubergine and Courgette: Halve and score vegetables, then cook flesh side down in the large drawer at 200ºC for 30 minutes until golden.
3. Make Tomato Dressing: In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, juice of one jammy lemon half, grated tomato flesh, chilli flakes, and torn, pitted olives. Season to taste.
4. Prepare Garlicky Yoghurt: Squeeze roasted garlic flesh into a bowl, mash with yoghurt, ½ tbsp olive oil, and a squeeze of the remaining lemon. Season.
5. Combine Salad: Toss aubergine and courgette in tomato dressing with chopped mint and parsley. Pull onion into petals and scatter over. Crumble feta on top.
6. Serve: Plate with garlicky yoghurt and the reserved lemon half for squeezing. Great with flatbreads for dipping.

Recipe Tips

• Use Ripe Veggies: Fresh, ripe vegetables ensure rich, roasted flavor.
• Jammy Lemon Trick: Roasting lemons concentrates their sweetness and juice.
• Grated Tomato Base: Grating the tomato gives an instant rustic sauce.
• Serve Warm or Room Temp: Delicious both ways with flatbread.
• Customize the Herbs: Add dill or coriander for variation.

What To Serve With Med Veg & Tomato Dressing
