ONE-TRAY WONDER
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. In a bowl, combine the chicken, the jerk seasoning, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Spread the pumpkin and the onion on one side of the roasting tray, coat in oil, and seasoning. Place the chicken on the other side of the tray. Roast in the hot oven until golden and cooked through, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively: Air fry at 200°C until cooked through, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
PREP THE BELL PEPPER
In a bowl, coat the bell pepper in oil and season. When the roast has 10-15 minutes to go, scatter over the bell pepper, and roast until lightly charred.
OLIVES & SEEDS
When the roast has 3-5 minutes to go, scatter over the olives and the pumpkin seeds.
DINNER IS READY
Dish up the roast and top with dollops of Tzatziki. Garnish with the mint and cheers, Chef!
