- 1 large courgette/zucchini, sliced
- 2 tsp smoked paprika

- Boil the potatoes (floury varieties are best such as maris piper, King Edward or Desiree) until they are soft and fluffy (around 10-15mins).
- After draining shake them around in the pot to expose the fluffy edges, then drizzle 6 tbsp of the extra virgin olive oil, rosemary sprigs (or dried) and rock salt.
- Put them in the oven for 50 mins at 180C / 360F
- While the potatoes are roasting away, in a separate tray, add chopped veg (whatever you have in the fridge).
