Yes, we know, it’s what’s inside that counts – but with its vibrant mix of red pomegranate seeds, green parsley leaves and golden sweet potato, this exclusive rainbow-coloured recipe from Honestly Healthy’s latest cookbook also looks every bit as great as it tastes.

The other good news is that this meal, which uses pre-roasted potatoes, takes just five minutes to throw together – making it a triumph of Honestly Healthy’s (aka Natasha Corrett) focus on food preparation and speedy cooking.
