This is one of my favourite dinners to make during colder months of the year, it’s so warming and hearty and works perfectly for a simple, quick meal. Plus it makes getting your five-a-day so much easier as it’s filled with courgette, aubergine, tomato, onion and garlic.

2. Place all of the vegetables in a baking tray, along with the drained chickpeas and a good drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper.
3. Give everything a really good mix, before placing in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
