Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
- Pull out a large saucepan, a large plate & a sieve
Get the wedges on
- Cut the sweet potatoes and potatoes into wedges. Place the wedges onto a lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and the paprika & oregano blend (feel free to leave out for the kids)
- Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden
Crumb the fish
- Toss the cod chunks in 2 tsp oil. Add the panko crumb to a large plate, season with salt and pepper
- Two at a time, press the breadcrumbs onto the fish with clean hands and place on the large baking sheet. Top with any remaining crumb.
- Bake for 16 mins, until golden and cooked through
Boil the greens
- Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into small florets
- Bring the large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the broccoli and boil for 3-4 mins, adding the peas in the final 1 min, then drain together
Plate up
- Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
- Serve the cod nuggets onto plates, with the wedges, peas and broccoli alongside. Add a dollop of ketchup for dipping
