Equipment
- Baking dish
- Baking paper
- Oven
- Large non-stick pan
Ingredients
- 1 Potato (cut into chip shapes)
- 2 Sweet potato (cut into chip shapes)
- 1 Parsnip (peeled and cut into chip shapes)
- ⅓ Butternut squash (peeled and cut into chip shapes)
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tbsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Cumin (ground)
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Onion (peeled and chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (peeled and chopped)
- 500 g Ground beef
- 1 Red bell pepper (deseeded and chopped)
- 8 Mushrooms (chopped)
- ½ Courgette (chopped)
- 1 Tin of tomatoes (chopped, 400g)
- 2 tbsp Tomato puree
- ½ tsp Chilli flakes
- 3 tbsp Oregano
- 40 g Cheddar cheese (grated)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Toss the chopped chip-shaped veg with salt, paprika and cumin, then spread them out on a baking dish lined with baking paper. Put in the hot oven for 30 minutes, stirring everything around after 15 minutes to ensure all the veg cook evenly.
- Put the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add in the minced beef and cook until most of it turns brown, stirring regularly to cook the meat evenly.
- Add in the pepper, mushrooms and courgette and cook, mixing regularly, for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Next, add in the chopped tomatoes and tomato purée and mix again, adding chilli flakes, oregano and a pinch of salt.
- Remove the chopped vegetables from the oven, which should now be turning crispy, and mix well to prevent them sticking together.
- Pour over the spicy beef and sprinkle the grated Cheddar over everything. Put back in the oven for 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling nicely.
- Enjoy!
