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!
