Spiced chicken and cauliflower traybake : Fuss-free and gluten-free

If you’re yet to try roasted cauliflower, you’re in for a treat. Traybakes are the perfect fuss-free dinner; this dish pairs Middle Eastern spices with sweet cherry tomatoes and a nutty, herb-studded tahini sauce to make a satisfying gluten-free dinner/supper.


Ingredients
Serves 4
1 cauliflower, cut into florets
2 red onions*, cut into wedges
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
330g cherry tomatoes
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric
½ tsp mild chilli powder
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp allspice
3 tbsp olive oil
100g baby spinach
For the tahini sauce
25g (3/4oz) tahini
125g (4 1/2oz) low-fat natural yogurt
1/2 red chilli
30g fresh coriander
15g flat-leaf parsley

* If you do not have red onions try using white, brown or spring onions (scallions)

Method
1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the cauliflower florets, onion wedges, chicken thighs, tomatoes, spices and oil into a large roasting dish and mix well to combine.
2. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 45 mins, then remove the foil and continue to bake for 25-30 mins, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink meat showing and the cauliflower is golden and tender.
3. Meanwhile, put all the ingredients for the tahini sauce into the small bowl of a food processor and blitz until smooth.
4. Stir the spinach into the roasting tin and let it wilt from the heat of the chicken and veg. Serve drizzled with the tahini sauce.

that sounds interesting, we just had chicken thighs but they were very bland just baked with a little seasoning on them
