Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan forced. Cut the potato into bite-sized chunks. Slice the capsicum into thick strips. Place the potato and capsicum a lined oven tray. Top with a drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Spread into an even layer and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Thinly slice the red onion. In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring regularly until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar (for the onion), water and brown sugar and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
