Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large casserole dish with oil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss bite-sized potato pieces with oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer them to the casserole dish and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  3. Remove the potatoes from the oven and add the chopped bell pepper, quartered mushrooms, and courgette to the casserole dish. Mix well.
  4. Add the drained kidney beans and chopped tomatoes to the dish. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, hot chili powder, and adjust salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Bake the mixture in the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is bubbling.
  6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle a layer of grated cheddar cheese on top. Return to oven for about 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, top with fresh coriander for added flavor.
