Spiced Traybake with Raita

This super spiced traybake is packed full to the brim with flavour, but there’s minimum fuss involved! Simply throw all the ingredients in a roasting tin, bake in the oven, then whip up the raita and serve! Enjoy!

Notes: if you wish you can add some protein to the recipe, chicken breast and thighs or firm tofu will work well. Simply add to the roasting tin with the vegetables and bake.
