Kind of boring, would benefit from the addition of herbs and garlic. Seems to be missing some instructions (like oven temp). On the plus side – super easy.
Hi Rebecca
Thanks for pointing out the missing oven temperature, this has been added now. Our recipes are lower in sodium than regular recipes, to keep them within our healthy nutrition criteria. If you find them a little bland, as a result, adding herbs and garlic, as you suggest, is a great way to boost flavour without adding salt.
Warm regards
