Sausages!!! Comfort food and healthy food all in one delicious recipe. I used Pork and Apple sausages, although any would work, and the little pieces of apple gave a sweet burst of flavour. We all absolutely loved this and it’s become a firm family favourite.

Serves 4.

8 sausages (of your choice), cut into 2½cm-thick discs

450g cherry tomatoes1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained

2 large carrots, peeled and diced

300g chopped kale leaves

Cooking spray

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp chilli flakes

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp ground black pepper

30g toasted pumpkin seeds (just dry fry them in a frying pan to toast them easily)

15ml lemon juice

½ tsp grated lemon zest

Method.
Heat the oven to 180°C. Put the tomatoes, chickpeas, carrots and kale into the baking tray, spray with cooking spray and toss and spray again.

Add the pieces of sausage, the cumin seeds, chilli flakes, salt, paprika and black pepper and toss to coat everything evenly.

Spread out the mixture evenly on the tray and add 120ml water and roast for 45 minutes. The sausages will now have started to brown and the carrots will be tender.

Remove from the oven and leave to rest for five minutes.

Dish up and sprinkle the pumpkin seeds on top, add the lemon juice and zest and serve with mash potato.
