Ingredients:
1 capsicum
1 head broccoli
¼ pumpkin
6 brussel sprouts
2 zucchini
2 teaspoons Man Grind Salt Flakes
300g short pasta shapes (we used orecchiette)
⅓ cup The Aioli Grail (add more if you like a wetter salad)
1 tablespoon white or red wine vinegar or lemon juice
2 teaspoons Get Freaky Tzatziki
Add To Cart
50g grated Parmesan
Oil

Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to the boil and season with a little regular salt. Cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, toss with a tablespoon of oil, and set aside to cool.

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Peel and deseed the pumpkin, then cut into 1.5cm cubes. Remove the seeds from the capsicum and slice. Trim the woody ends off the brussels sprouts and cut into quarters. Halve the zucchini and slice on the diagonal. Finally, cut the broccoli into small florets.

Arrange the vegetables on the tray, drizzle with oil, and season with Man Grind Salt Flakes.

Roast at 180°C fan bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Some veggies will get lovely and roasted with brown bits, which is perfect.

Remove from the oven and let cool until warm (not piping hot).

In a large bowl, combine the aioli, vinegar, and Get Freaky Tzatziki. Stir through the pasta to coat it in the dressing.

Gently fold through the roasted vegetables, followed by the Parmesan. If you don’t have parmesan, tasty cheese will also work, or you can leave the cheese out altogether.

Serve and enjoy!

Stay healthy this winter by prioritizing immune support, staying active, and managing seasonal fatigue. Simple, targeted habits help fend off colds, protect your respiratory system, and boost your mood during the colder, darker months.

• Eat a balanced diet: Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods like brightly colored vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Foods high in Vitamin C, Zinc, and Vitamin D are excellent for immune support.

• Stay hydrated: Indoor heating can dry out your mucous membranes, making you more vulnerable to viruses. Drink six to eight glasses of water daily, or swap cold beverages for warm herbal teas.

• Keep moving: Regular physical activity combats winter stiffness and boosts your mood. If it is too cold or damp outside, shift your workouts indoors with home circuits, yoga, or an indoor gym class.

• Get enough sleep: Aim for 7 to 9 hours of quality rest per night. Sleep is critical for recharging your immune system.

• Manage the "winter blues": Reduced sunlight can alter your body clock and energy levels. Try to get 15-20 minutes of morning daylight, and maintain social connections to stay grounded.
