Method

Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Mix the marinade ingredients with plenty of black pepper and 2 tbsp water in a bowl, then stir in the tempeh to coat it. Set aside for 15 mins to marinate.

Pile the vegetables onto a large baking tray and toss with the oil and oregano. Bake for 10 mins, then add the tempeh along with any remaining marinade, and bake for 30 mins more until the veg is tender. Leave to cool a little, then squeeze over the lemon juice to taste (start with a quarter) and scatter over the fresh thyme.
