Warm Winter Root Vegetable Salad

Serves 2 as main - 4 as side

Ingredients

400g tin chickpeas, drained 30ml olive oil

45ml garlic and herb seasoning (or any seasoning of your choice)

6 small beetroot, peeled and cooked

12 baby carrots

2 red onions, quartered

120ml full fat plain yoghurt

45ml tahini

15ml red wine vinegar 15ml honey

fresh thyme leaves to serve

Method

If using an oven, preheat to 200 degrees C or this recipe is well suited for an air fryer Place the chickpeas on a kitchen towel and pat dry

Place in a small bowl and mix with the olive oil and garlic and herb seasoning

Spoon on a small baking tray and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until they are beginning to crisp and some might pop

Remove and set aside

Place all the vegetables on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and roast in the oven until they start to caramelise on the edges with a slight char (You can cook the veggies at the same time as the chickpeas) You could also do this in an airfryer or grill the vegetables on a grid on the barbecue, the main aim is for the veggies to caramelise on the outside with a slight char for flavour

In the meantime mix the yoghurt, tahini, vinegar and honey Taste the dressing and season accordingly

Spread the dressing onto a dinner plate

As soon as the veggies are done, place them on top of the dressing Sprinkle the crispy chickpeas on top and garnish with fresh thyme Serve immediately
