Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7 / air fryer 200C. Cut the potatoes into thin fries (peel optional). Place on a lined baking tray and toss with 1 tbsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, until golden.
- Roughly dice the onion. Halve the tomatoes. Drain and rinse the beans. Drain the jackfruit and roughly chop into small chunks.
