Easy Roasted Corn, Yellow Pepper & Falafel Oven Bake
I'm a big fan of sheet pan dinners, where you just chuck everything in and let the oven do all the work.
This easy roasted corn, yellow pepper, and falafel roasting tin bake is my latest creation, and boy is it good.
It also gets a big thumbs up from my husband and picky teenager, so that's a win.
I like to serve it with hummus swirled with sundried tomato paste, but I've shared some more serving ideas further down the page.

Love your roasting pan dinners, I will add this one to the list and try that dip too. Jill x
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks Jill, I hope you enjoy this one too and definitely try the dressing, it's super tasty.
DeleteI am well up for that, just my kind of grub! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you try it, it's easy to make and very tasty.
DeleteMake it again soon please. Your loving husband x
ReplyDeleteHaha oh I will Graham, don't worry. I know you love it.
DeleteNothing better than a easy midweek roasting tin dinner. I also really love recipes using veg that are a bit different or that I don't often eat like corn. I'd be interested in finding other such recipes (yam, I've never used fennel, only just found kale is amazing) it's healthy to use as many new veg across the week x
ReplyDeleteI don't ever use yam but you can use the search bar at the top to search for kale or fennel recipes. Also search for roasting tin & sheet pan and one-pan for more ideas

Sorry, that last post was me! Only commented on 1 previous post the aubergine humous pasta bake yum! Sorry I can't find the blue heart to save this in grow.me I sometimes can't & I don't know why?
ReplyDeleteThat's odd, but may mean you have already saved, so look for the three blue lines (hamburger) and hit that instead.
