Why this works

A moderate-calorie vegetarian bake with useful protein and fibre, but fairly high in salt and saturated fat from the cheese, butter and added salt.

Potassium and vitamin C. Potatoes and mixed peppers contribute potassium, vitamin C and other antioxidant compounds, supporting immune function and normal blood pressure.

Calcium and protein. Greek yoghurt and cheddar add calcium and protein, which support bone health and satiety.

Salt and saturated fat. The added salt, cheddar and butter raise sodium and saturated fat, so this dish is less suitable for those limiting either.

Method

Preheat the oven to 210°C (Fan 190°C, 410°F, Gas Mark 6) or 200°C (Fan 180°C, 392°F, Gas Mark 6)–7.
Parboil the potatoes in salted water for 8 minutes, then drain and roughen the edges.
Melt the butter and toss it through the potatoes with the sliced mixed peppers and herbs.
Spread everything in a roasting tin and roast for 25 minutes, turning once.
Mix the Greek yoghurt with a little salt, spoon over the hot vegetables, scatter with Cheddar and return to the oven for 8–10 minutes until melted and golden.
