• 2 tbsp tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of ½ lemon
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the vegetables:

• 500g baby potatoes - larger ones halved, small ones kept whole
• 1 courgette, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried thyme

Method:

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

Toss the baby potatoes, courgette, peppers, and onion in olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes.
