Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large bowl, a small bowl & a sieve

Roast the potatoes

  • Quarter the potatoes, then add to a lined baking tray with 1 tbsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden

Make the chimichurri

  • Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley. Deseed and finely dice the chilli
  • In the small bowl, combine the parsley, oregano, garlic paste, red wine vinegar, chilli (for those who'd like the heat), 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper

Roast the prawns

  • Trim the broccoli. Drain the prawns
  • After 20 mins, add the broccoli to one side of the other lined baking tray, drizzle with 2 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Add the prawns to the other side of the tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil, salt and pepper
  • Roast for 10 mins, until the prawns are cooked through and the broccoli is golden

Make the salad

  • Dice the avocado into 1cm chunks. Halve the tomatoes (quarter any larger ones)
  • Add both to the large bowl
  • When ready to serve, add the leaves and maple mustard dressing to the bowl and toss gently to combine

Plate up

  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
  • Serve the prawns and roast potatoes onto plates, with the salad and broccoli alongside. Drizzle the prawns with the chimichurri to finish
