Cooking Instructions and Tips

Roast sweet potatoes
1

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees. Scrub your sweet potato under water and chop into bite-sized (3cm) chunks (without peeling). Toss the chunks in 1 tbsp of olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast on the top shelf of the oven for around 20 mins, or until soft enough to eat.

Add beetroot to sweet potatoes
2

Peel the beetroot and chop into 2cm cubes. Toss in a couple of tsp of olive oil and season with a little pinch of salt and pepper. Add into the tray of sweet potatoes for 10-15 mins, or until cooked through. Tip: Rub a drop of olive oil in your fingers whilst handling the beetroot to stop stained fingers!

Finely chop spring onion
3

Finely chop the spring onion.

Whisk dressing
4

To make your dressing, simply whisk together the balsamic vinegar with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Whisk in a pinch of salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar if you have some. Tip: To test the dressing dip one salad leaf in it, shake the leaf off and eat it. Add more seasoning if needed.

5

Pimp your salad dressing! Now you’ve got the basis for your salad dressing have a think about any other flavours you’d like to alter the flavour - wholegrain and Dijon mustard are our favourites but use your imagination and the contents of your cupboard!

6

Once the sweet potato and beetroot are cooked remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 mins.

Finished dish
7

Gently toss the sweet potato, beetroot and spring onion into the salad leaves . Throw in the sunflower seeds, drizzle over the dressing and gently combine. Lastly crumble on the goat’s cheese and scatter over the pecans before serving.
