Roasted vegetable tacos
← RecipesRoast the vegetables, warm the beans, then build the tacos at the table. The sweet potato gets a head start so the pepper does not have to survive the same long oven session.

Ingredients
Let’s make dinner.
- Heat the oven to 220°C conventional or 200°C fan. Toss the sweet potato on the tray with half the oil, half the cumin and the salt. Spread in one layer and roast for 15 minutes.
- Add the pepper and onion with the remaining oil and cumin. Turn the sweet potato, spread everything out again, and roast for 15–20 minutes more, until the sweet potato is tender through the centre and the vegetables have coloured edges.
- Meanwhile, put the beans, paprika and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Heat gently for 4–5 minutes, stirring, until hot throughout. Add a little water if they stick. Taste before adding extra salt.
- Mix the yogurt with 1 tablespoon lime juice. Warm the tortillas according to their packet just before serving.
- Divide the beans and roasted vegetables among the six tortillas. Add the lime yogurt and serve with the remaining lime wedges. Add the coriander, if using.
Make it work for your table.
Crowded vegetables may need a second tray and more time. Follow tenderness cues rather than the timer alone.
Six small tacos make two planned servings; appetites and tortilla sizes vary.
