One-pan sweet potato and cod traybake

Use any white fish you like in this simple supper, and experiment with different curry pastes if you like

By The Good Housekeeping Cookery TeamUpdated: 28 July 2021

This one-pan sweet potato and cod traybake is incredibly easy to make and comes together in under an hour, making it the perfect mid-week meal option.

We've used a mild curry paste in this traybake recipe but you can experiment with different pastes depending on what you might have in the fridge already, or the flavour profile you're going for.

It's full of fragrant spices such as mustard seeds, chilli powder, cumin and coriander, which help to give the sweet potatoes and cauliflower extra flavour.

Plus, we've added in red onion, fresh tomatoes and tinned chickpeas for a hearty yet healthy meal, all in one.

This meal only takes 15mins to prep and then the oven does all the hard work making this an ideal midweek meal.

GH Tip:

Did you know that you can freeze leftover curry paste? Simply pop into an ice cube tray and freeze fully. Then you'll have portioned cubes of curry paste ready to add into your next meal to boost the flavour.
