Clove Kitchen's tips
All ovens are individuals with their own quirks. When roasting vegetables it's best to look at the vegetables than the cooking times. For the first round you want your carrot and pumpkins to be tender but not completely cooked. Then add the chickpeas and cook until the vegetables are lovely and golden on the edges. If you need to crank up the heat to 200°C in the last 10 minutes, to get a little char, then do it!
