Steps
1

Preheat the oven to 190˚C (375˚F) Gas 5. Scatter the sweet potato, butternut squash and (bell) pepper over the base of a large sheet pan. Stand the corn cobs/ears on a board and remove the corn using a sharp knife and a downward motion. Scatter the sweetcorn/corn kernels over the vegetables in the pan. Drizzle everything with the olive oil, sprinkle in the grated garlic, paprika and freshly chopped rosemary. Transfer to the oven and roast for about 25 minutes, until the sweet potato and squash are soft. |

Remove the pan from the oven. Drain and rinse the kidney beans and add to the vegetables, then push everything up the pan slightly, so that you can tuck the taco shells across one end. Return the pan to the oven for about 3–4 minutes, until the tacos are crisp and the beans are heated through. Stir the chopped parsley into the vegetables. |
