Method

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  • Place corn, capsicum and onion onto prepared tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with half the Cajun spice blend and toss to coat. Cook for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place lamb chops and remaining spice blend in a large snap lock bag and rub to coat. Remove tray from oven, add tomatoes to tray and toss well to coat. Place lamb chops on top of vegetables. Cook for a further 10-12 minutes, until lamb is cooked to your liking, turning chops and adding beans to tray halfway through cooking time.
  • Serve lamb tray bake with baby spinach, diced avocado, coriander sprigs, sour cream and lime wedges.

Notes

TIPS:
Slice the meat from any leftover chops and shave corn kernels from the cobs and warm through. Toss together with the remaining vegetables and some low GI couscous for a delicious salad.
