- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1cm slices (about 400g)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 400g can crushed tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped or 2 teaspoons of dried basil
- 1 large head of Broccoli, cut in florets
- ½ cup of grated tasty cheese
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Line an oven tray with baking paper, spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the tray and drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they are just starting to change colour and are almost cooked through.
- In a large bowl mix together the tomato, crushed garlic and herbs, then add half the baked sweet potatoes slices and half the broccoli florets. Stir to combine.
- Stir in the tuna and season to taste.
- Transfer the tuna mixture to a medium-sized casserole (we used a 20 x 14 x 6cm ovenproof dish). Arrange the remaining sweet potato and broccoli florets in a decorative pattern, scatter with grated cheese and bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden and the dish is bubbling hot.
- Serve with a green salad and if you don’t mind the carbs, crusty warm bread.

Did you know: Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head is eaten as a vegetable. The word broccoli comes from the Italian plural of broccolo, which means “the flowering crest of a cabbage”, and is the diminutive form of brocco, meaning “small nail” or “sprout”. Broccoli is often boiled or steamed but may be eaten raw. Source: wiki
