Ingredients

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, turmeric, cumin, paprika, garlic, salt and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss the vegetables with the remaining olive oil, salt and pepper.
  4. Arrange chicken and vegetables on the sheet pan in a single layer.
  5. Bake 25-30 minutes, until chicken reaches a safe internal temperature and vegetables are tender.
  6. Serve with lemon wedges.

Why this scores well on THE FAD: Turmeric contributes curcumin, a well-studied polyphenol, the vegetable medley brings plant diversity and fibre, and roasting rather than frying keeps this meal in the 'minimally processed' category THE FAD's Food signal rewards.
