- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F/gas mark 6.
- Mix the melted coconut oil, turmeric, soy sauce and chilli powder together in a bowl.
- Put the broccoli, cauliflower and onion in a separate large bowl, add the coconut oil mixture and smother the vegetables in it.
- Tip the vegetables into a roasting tray and bake for 25 minutes, until golden.
- Meanwhile, mix the dressing ingredients together in a large bowl and cook the noodles in a pan of boiling salted water for 6 minutes (or according to the packet instructions). Drain the noodles, then transfer them to a large serving bowl.
- Add the sugar snap peas and spinach and half the dressing and toss to combine.
- When the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the oven and tip them straight into the bowl with the remainder of the dressing, while they’re still hot.
- Serve the noodles with the roasted and dressed vegetables on top, scattered with the peanuts, with lime wedges and sliced red chilli on the side.
