Throw together this all-in-one Pear & Butter Bean Traybake for a satisfying, simple meal. Pears offer a sweet, melt-in-the-mouth flavour alongside earthy new potatoes and butter beans. I love the woody taste of sage in this recipe, but rosemary works equally well.
If you can’t get hold of baby carrots for this recipe, use two ordinary carrots, peeled and roughly chopped.
