Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Line an ovenproof pan or baking tray (about 26cm) with baking paper so it overhangs the edges.
  2. Toss the squash, garlic, onions, pepper, sweetcorn and oil together in the lined pan. Arrange in a single layer, then roast for 30-35 mins, tossing occasionally, until the squash is tender and lightly charred.
  3. Using a stick blender, briefly blitz the eggs, basil and lemon zest until pale green with small pieces of basil in. Pour over the roasted veg, then bake for 10-12 mins until golden and set.
  4. Meanwhile, toss the lemon juice, tomatoes and lettuce leaves together. Serve alongside the frittata.
