Cod, Bacon + Sweet Potato One Pan

  • This simple, one-pan supper is a powerhouse of whole food nutrition designed to support energy, gut health and blood sugar balance. Bacon, I hear you cry? Yes, small amounts, in moderation, can turn something otherwise 'very virtuous', into a balanced family meal that the kids will love.

  • Cod brings in lean protein and omega-3s for brain and heart health.

  • Bacon (used in moderation) adds flavour and a dose of energising B vitamins.

  • Sweet potato is packed with gut-friendly fibre and slow-releasing carbs to keep everyone feeling full and steady.

  • Olive oil supports hormone health with anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fats.

  • The addition of onion, asparagus, tenderstem broccoli and green beans delivers a rainbow of antioxidants, prebiotics and minerals — ideal for digestion, detoxification and immune support.

  • A splash of lemon juice brings tangy balance and may aid post-meal blood sugar control.

  • And let’s not forget parsley — a little herb with big benefits for detox and vitamin C.

  2. Now add the cod aand cook for a further two to three minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
  3. Next, add back in the roasted sweet potatoes and a handful each of chopped green beans, asparagus and tenderstem (or which ever green veg you wish to serve with the cod).
