Before you start

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

Make the wedges & pickle the onion

  • Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges. Place onto a lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden
  • Peel and thinly slice half an onion, then cut the remaining into 1cm wedges. Halve the lemon
  • In the large bowl, combine the sliced onion, the juice from half the lemon, 2 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well, then leave to pickle

Tray & bake

  • Thinly slice the peppers. Thinly slice the halloumi and pat dry with kitchen paper. Roughly dice the tomatoes. Drain the sweetcorn
  • Add the onion wedges and pepper to one side of the other lined baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 5-6 mins, then lay the halloumi onto the other side of the tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil. Sprinkle the peri peri seasoning over everything (use less for less heat)
  • Roast for a further 8-10 mins, until the veg is soft and the halloumi is golden

Make the yoghurt

  • In the small bowl, combine the yoghurt with the juice from the remaining lemon and half the garlic & herb paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper

Make the salsa & plate up

  • When everything is ready, add the sweetcorn, tomatoes and remaining garlic & herb paste to the pickled onion and toss to combine
  • Serve the halloumi onto plates, with the wedges, roasted veg and salsa alongside. Drizzle over the lemon & herb yoghurt to finish
