Weeknight cooking doesn’t get much easier than a tray bake. You whack everything in a roasting tin and then let the oven do the job for you! This colourful dish is great served in the middle of the table if you have friends over too. Don’t skip the herby yoghurt sauce: it’s bright, fresh and cooling, balancing the earthy, smoky, spicy flavours of the veg.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.

Step 2

Give the carrots a quick wash and roughly chop into batons. Roughly chop the potatoes into wedges and quarter the new potatoes; the key is to keep the veg at similar sizes so they cook evenly.

Step 3

Arrange in a large roasting tray with the onion wedges. Snuggle in the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper and roast for 15–20 minutes.

Step 4

Add the veggie sausages to the tray, along with the tagine paste, toss well and roast for 15–20 minutes, until the carrots and potatoes are crisp and the sausages are browned.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, blitz the yoghurt, mint leaves, lime juice and zest together and season well with salt. This is your minty yoghurt. Blend until smooth and vibrant.

Step 6

Squeeze the flesh from the garlic bulb into the tray and give everything a final toss. Drizzle with most of the minty yoghurt and finish with the chopped parsley and toasted almonds. Serve straight from the pan, with the remaining minty yoghurt for people to add at the table.
