DINNER
Lemon, Chickpea & Charred Veg Traybake
(Dinner • Serves 4 • 20 minutes prep + 25 minutes in the oven )
Ingredients:
- 2 tins chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 red peppers, cut into chunks
- 1 punnet baby marrow, sliced thickly
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 200 g green beans or asparagus, trimmed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 4 garlic cloves, whole and unpeeled
- 1 lemon – half sliced, half for juicing
- Salt and black pepper
- To serve: plain yoghurt, fresh parsley, toasted pumpkin seeds
Method:
- Heat the oven to 200°C.
- Toss the chickpeas and all the vegetables on a large tray with the olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Tuck the lemon slices in among everything.
- Roast for 25 minutes, giving the tray a shake halfway through, until the edges are charred and the chickpeas have crisped slightly.
- Squeeze over the remaining lemon juice. Serve with a spoonful of yoghurt, plenty of parsley and a scatter of pumpkin seeds.
- Leftovers are excellent cold the next day – add a tin of tuna or some feta and it’s lunch.

Why it works:
Chickpeas = plant protein, fibre, folate and iron. Red peppers = an excellent source of Vitamin C, which your body needs for collagen formation. Pumpkin seeds = zinc for skin repair and healing. Yoghurt = calcium, protein and live cultures for gut health. Water-rich vegetables also support your overall fluid intake.
