Haloumi is such a versatile ingredient and it’s a great option for meat-free meals. This bake is bursting with flavour – the perfectly cooked tomatoes and veg get an extra kick from the chilli and Tuscan seasoning. It’s a great dish that’s oh so delicious – and healthy too.

Ingredients

  • 4 courgettes, cut into chunks

  • 1 red pepper, cut into chunks

  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges

  • 6 cloves garlic, unpeeled

  • ¼ cup Pams Olive Oil

  • 2 teaspoons Tuscan seasoning

  • 250g mixed colour cherry tomatoes

  • 200g haloumi, sliced into ½cm slices

  • 1 teaspoon Tuscan seasoning, extra

  • ½ teaspoon chilli flakes, or to taste

  • Fresh basil to garnish

  • Crusty bread and lemon wedges to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C fan bake. Place the courgettes, red pepper, red onion and garlic in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and the 2 teaspoons of Tuscan seasoning and mix well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to a large shallow baking dish. Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are lightly browned.

  2. Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and place the haloumi slices on top. Sprinkle over the extra Tuscan seasoning and the chilli flakes. Return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes, or until the haloumi is golden.

  3. Remove the pan from the oven and squeeze the softened garlic onto the vegetables. Garnish with basil and serve with crusty bread and lemon wedges.
