Ingredients

  • 10-12 baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 corn on the cob, cut into thirds
  • 3 peppers (we used red, yellow and green), roughly chopped
  • 2 lemons, halved
  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 12 cherry tomatoes

For the piri piri mix:

  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cooking instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/Gas 6.
  • Add all the traybake ingredients, except the chicken and tomatoes, to a large roasting tin. Top with the chicken thighs. Make sure everything has space and isn’t too crowded – you might need two tins.
  • Stir together all the ingredients for the piri piri mix then drizzle over the whole tin. Mix together so that everything is well coated.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, then add the cherry tomatoes and return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Get ready to serve! I love to serve mine with a drizzle of those delicious piri piri juices.
