Here is one of my favourites, and soon to be one of yours! A simple and easy recipe with just three ingredients.

What I would recommend is combining these with some sweet potato fries, they are my go too side every time! Or if you aren’t a fan, then a simple side of salad will do too.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
