ROASTED BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut half-moons on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, half the cumin and some seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
CHEESY VEGGIES
Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Using your hands, gently massage until softened and coated. Transfer to a new baking tray. In another bowl, mix the drained black bean, the grated cheese, ½ the chopped oregano, the remaining cumin and some olive oil. Mix to fully coat the beans then toss over the kale. When the butternut has 10 minutes remaining, place the kale and beans into the oven and roast for the remaining time.
SPICY YOGHURT
In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, the remaining oregano, and the chopped jalapeños. Mix well and season.
FLAVOURBOMBS
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan.
