4 garlic cloves
2 tsp basil
2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp mild or hot chili powder
4-6 tbsp coconut oil
4 oz mushrooms

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. Cut the vegetables into wedges, slices, cubes, however you would like to present them, keeping them chunky.
3. Keeping the tomatoes and mushrooms to one side, put the rest of the vegetables in a large bowl. Add the herbs, spices, oil and season with salt and black pepper. Stir until completely mixed.
4. Spread them out over two or three roasting dishes so they are spaced out in a single layer and cook for 20 minutes then add the tomatoes and mushrooms and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until everything is cooked.
5. Toast the almonds in a dry skillet, constantly stirring them, for 5-8 minutes until beginning to brown.
6. Serve the ratatouille topped with the toasted nuts.
