Tray bakes are easy to whip up on a busy weeknight and create less washing up – win win.

You can use many different pastes for this recipe, making it perfect to use up anything you may have lurking in the fridge.

Method

Your notes

1

Gather your ingredients and preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

2

Place the sweet potato and chickpeas on a large, deep baking tray (use two baking trays if needed), drizzle with half the oil and sprinkle with the spice mix and seasoning. Put the aubergine halves, skin-side down, onto the baking tray. Spread the paste evenly on top of each half. Roast everything on the middle shelf for 8-10 mins.

3

After 8-10 mins, remove the baking tray from the oven then add the pepper. Drizzle with a little oil and return to the oven and roast for another 12-15 mins, until the aubergine is tender.

4

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine half of the coriander and the yoghurt. Season with salt and pepper. Prep the chilli.

5

Share the tray bake between your plates, dollop over the yoghurt dressing then top with the chilli and remaining coriander.

Fantastic flavours! Very easy and one dish to clean. Loved it!

I used mushrooms instead of sweet potatoes. (I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes). This substitution was a good choice and the meal was perfect

Isabelle Last week

Very good. I served it with wholegrain rice.
