  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper

  1. This was incredible! I forgot to put in the red onion wedges and it was still amazing. We had a friend over unexpectedly and he raved about it! Going on regular rotation at our house. So simple to prepare and the oven does all the work. Loved it!

    1. Oh this is so beautiful to read! Agree – Leftovers are my favourite thing in the world, I’m actually living off cooking once and eating twice this week! Thank you so much for taking the time to write, it really has made my day. I am so glad my recipes are helpful and that you’re enjoying them. x

  2. Prepped all the ingredients for this in the morning and asked my mum to pop it in the afternoon (while she was babysitting my boys). As soon as I got home I could smell it cooking. Yum. Needless to say my mum asked me for the recipe when she got home. Next time I’d probably just cut the potatoes into smaller wedges as it did take a while longer to cook.

    1. Isn’t the smell so beautiful – We had it for dinner last night too! Thank you so much for the feedback about the potatoes, I’ll add a note to the recipe. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, means more to me than I can tell you! x

  3. Made this for dinner tonight and omg, the flavours were absolutely amazing. I even didn’t have Lemons and made it anyway and I am sure the Lemon juice would just elevate the already amazing flavours. So easy and quick to make too which is always and added bonus. Thank you 😊

  4. This is AMAZING! We had friends over for the first time since having our first baby, and I made this for dinner while being pretty apprehensive about how I was going to get something (anything!) on the table. It was simple, quick to prepare and tasted absolutely delicious. I’m blown away! Thanks so much x
