2

Toss

Toss the wedges with olive oil, half the orange juice, salt and most of the pink peppercorns.

Roast

Roast at 220C for thirty minutes, turning halfway, until charred at the edges.

4

Finish

Drizzle with the remaining orange juice and zest, scatter pink peppercorns and reserved fronds.

VEG.ARMY TIP

A handful of black olives mixed in for the last ten minutes adds a salty depth.
