This is my go-to midweek dish when courgettes are plentiful and in season. It could not be easier to make – you simply add all the ingredients to a roasting tin and let the oven do the work. It is packed with beta-carotene, vitamin C, folate and fibre. I have used flageolet beans (small, immature kidney beans, widely available from supermarkets) in this dish to boost the protein content but you can easily substitute with chickpeas or any other type of canned beans. You can also substitute fresh tomatoes for canned when in season and add a pinch of dried chilli flakes if you like heat.
