Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut sweet potato, beetroot and carrot into small chunks. Slice brown onion into wedges. Place veggies on lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.

TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The lemon pepper seasoning on the prawns was a standout, and most found the overall flavour combination surprisingly delicious. Some felt the dish was a little mild and could benefit from a stronger seasoning hit.
  • Ease of prep: Most found this quick and straightforward to pull together, especially with the simple prawn cooking method. Cutting veggies ahead of time, as one reviewer suggested, makes weeknight prep even easier.
  • Suggestions: Beetroot takes longer to cook than the other vegetables, so cutting it into smaller pieces helps it cook evenly. Several reviewers noted that cooking the veggies in an air fryer saved time, and a few added rice or pasta to make the meal more filling. One reviewer found the lemon pepper seasoning a little salty and recommended using less, while another suggested grilling the prawns on a BBQ for great results. Be sure to drain any liquid from the prawn bag before seasoning, as including it can affect the cook.
  • Leftovers: One reviewer added rice to stretch the dish into two dinners and a lunch, which worked well. Others noted the meal didn't keep as well as some dishes, so it's best enjoyed fresh.
  • Portions: Many reviewers felt the prawn quantity was on the smaller side, particularly for hungrier households, and recommended ordering extra or adding a few more to the pan.
