method
-
-
First peel and chop potatoes and squash into cubes. Tip them into a roasting pan and toss with olive oil and garlic granules.
-
Roast in a hot oven until soft and starting to caramelize around the edges (approx 40 mins)
-
While the veg is roasting, prepare your kale by removing thick stalks and finely chopping. Next, rub in a dash of olive oil with your hands so that the kale begins to soften. You can add salt & pepper at this stage too.
-
Finally, assemble your salad by adding your red pepper, spring onions, almonds / pumpkin seeds. fresh herbs
-
Finish by pouring over a few tbsp of balsamic, lemon juice and your pomegranate molasses
Serve on its own as a main course or alongside your favourite veggie burger or falafels
