The first thing I did was

slice up the veges into short lengths and put them in a roasting dish with olive oil and a few sprigs of fresh thyme.

I made the crepe batter using wholemeal flour, an egg plus one egg yolk and milk. I whisked these ingredients together to make a smooth, fairly thin batter. Then I covered the bowl and left this at room temperature for 30 minutes.
