Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Put the cauliflower, onion, peppers, and garlic on a large baking tray, drizzle over the oil and toss to coat. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the veg is tender.

Put the mixture in a nonstick wok or frying pan set over a medium heat, then whisk in the ketchup, pineapple juice, vinegar and 350ml water. Simmer the mixture for 4-5 minutes until thickened, then add the roasted vegetables and the pineapple. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute until everything is coated in the sauce.
