4 (about 400g each) chicken marylands, trimmed and scored
1 red onion, cut into wedges
500g kumara (orange sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into 5-6cm pieces
1 bulb fennel, trimmed and cut into 1-2cm thick wedges
1 red capsicum, halved lengthways, deseeded and cut into thick strips
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tsp Ras al Hanout*
1 tbs lemon juice
¼ cup olive oil + olive oil spray
2 lemons, halved
1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Warmed flatbreads, to serve
Tahini yoghurt:
½ cup Greek-style natural yoghurt

* Ras al Hanout is a fragrant North African spice mixture, replace it with Moroccan spice if preferred.
