Method

1

Gather your ingredients and preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

2

Place the sweet potato and chickpeas on a large, deep baking tray (use two baking trays if needed), drizzle with half the oil and sprinkle with the spice mix and seasoning. Put the aubergine halves, skin-side down, onto the baking tray. Spread the paste evenly on top of each half. Roast everything on the middle shelf for 8-10 mins.

3

After 8-10 mins, remove the baking tray from the oven then add the pepper. Drizzle with a little oil and return to the oven and roast for another 12-15 mins, until the aubergine is tender.

4

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine half of the coriander and the yoghurt. Season with salt and pepper. Prep the chilli.

5

Share the tray bake between your plates, dollop over the yoghurt dressing then top with the chilli and remaining coriander.
