A Summer salad using sweet potatoes, red bell peppers and courgettes, combined with quinoa, chickpeas and fresh spinach.
Roughly chop the sweet potatoes, courgettes, peppers and red onions and pop them on a baking tray, evenly spaced to ensure they cook properly. If you overcrowd them, they will steam rather than roast due to the amount of water within them. Use 2 trays if you feel they do not have enough space to spread out.
