Oven vegetables are always good. And it doesn’t really matter whether you want to enjoy it with a barbecue or simply without a side of meat.

The unpeeled potatoes in the oven vegetables retain their vitamins due to the cooking effect in the Omnia oven, and the vegetables retain their freshness and make the whole oven vegetable nice and juicy.

Actually, I’m not an olive type of person. And it was more of a “coincidence” and not at all planned that these end up in the oven vegetables.

My heavenly hubby loves olives. However, not all olives are the same. Olive lovers can perhaps understand this – I cannot. I knew these things from childhood. My father also liked olives very much. Of course I tried them. But they were just disgusting…. I always admire my 8-year-old niece who has always eaten olives.

When I took these oven vegetables off the gas to crumble the feta cheese on top, Frank fished a few olives out of the jar next to them to snack on them.

I was just about to put the lid back on, when he said, “Wait, we’ll try something.” And poof…some olives landed on the oven vegetables.

“Looks much more Mediterranean,” he said with a mischievous grin. I just thought “OK, you can take it down when it’s done”.

But when we had the oven vegetables on the table, I had to try these black things. Frank is really persistent. And I have to say…I was surprised! It went really well with the oven vegetables and the taste of the olives was nothing like my childhood memories.

I recommend preparing WITHOUT a silicone mould, as moisture always collects in the silicone mould, which is a desired effect of silicone. Without a silicone mould, the liquid can evaporate better and you will not only have liquid in your oven vegetables, but delicious crunchy vegetables. Alternatively, the non-stick Omnia baking tin is also ideal for preparation. The baking tin is available as an accessory in stores or on the internet*.
