Instructions

Prep the Potatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

Chop the potatoes into 3cm chunks (no need to peel). Pop onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf for 20 mins - you'll roast them for longer once they've been crushed.

Chop and Grate
2

Meanwhile, halve and peel the red onion. Chop each half into 4 wedges.

Trim the carrots, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways.

Roast the Veg
3

Pop the carrots and onion onto another baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with the cumin and half the honey. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer.

Roast on the middle shelf of your oven until golden, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.

When the carrots and onions have cooked for 10 mins, add the Tenderstem® broccoli to the baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

Roast for the remaining time, until tender and crispy.

Get Smashing
4

When the potatoes have cooked for 20 mins, remove them from the oven.

Use the bottom of a bowl or pan to lightly crush each potato.

Drizzle the smashed potatoes with more oil, then return to the top shelf of your oven until crispy and golden, 10-15 mins.

Bring on the Bacon
5

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the bacon lardons and stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.

Add the garlic, cook for 1 min more, then remove from the heat. Stir through the balsamic glaze and remaining honey.

Finish and Serve
6

When ready, toss together the potatoes, veg, lardons and sticky pan juices on one baking tray, then share the salad between your bowls.

Enjoy!
