Method
Before You Begin
Prepare your ingredients & cooking utensils: Use a chopping board and lay all the ingredients out. Take out any “Pantry Items”. Preheat your oven to 220°C.
Washing Instruction
Wash your hands, beetroot, carrots, mangetout and apple well. Rinse your wild rocket thoroughly and drain on paper towel.
Gino's Tip
It's important to drizzle your vegetables with olive oil before seasoning so that your seasoning sticks.
Step 1 - Roasted Vegetables
Toss your butternut and carrots chunks in a large mixing bowl with your DailyDish Spice Mix with a good drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Scatter onto an oven tray, cover with foil and pop into the oven for 18 minutes - reserve your mixing bowl for your beetroot. Toss your thin beetroot wedges in your large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Scatter onto a separate oven tray, cover with foil and roast for 18 minutes. After 18 minutes remove the foil from your vegetables, scatter your pecan nut pieces over your carrots and butternut and continue to roast for 6-8 minutes until your butternut and carrots are lightly browned and tender. Continue roasting your beetroot for an additional 12-16 minutes until tender.
Step 2 - Yoghurt Dressing
Whisk your yoghurt along with half of its amount in milk until dressing like then whisk in a few drizzles of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Reserve to serve.
Step 3 - Fried Bacon
Heat a large casserole pan over med-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and once your pan is hot, proceed to fry your diced bacon for 4-5 minutes until crisp - method with more browning and crisping.
Instead of using olive oil, you can use a few dashes of water to get your bacon going and once the fats in the bacon start rendering it will cook in its own fat - method with less browning.
To Serve
Mix your roasted vegetables with your chopped mangetout, wild rocket and fried bacon. Gently mix in your sliced apples then divide your salad amongst your servings and serve with your yoghurt dressing and crumbled feta.
