Vegan Aloo Gobi Traybake

 

In this vegan recipe (hello all those doing Veganuary!), the classic flavours of aloo gobi have been reinvented as a tasty tray bake. It’s fuss-free and ready in about 40 minutes, and can have some chicken added (hello me!) if you really don’t want to miss out on the meat. It’s the perfect quick and easy comfort food for busy work-nights, and is also dairy and gluten-free. Serve sprinkled with chopped coriander/cilantro and some wedges of zingy lime to squeeze over, then enjoy!
