Preparation
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Remove the tops and tails from the beetroot with a sharp knife, then cut in half, and dice the half into 2-3 wedges. Place on the baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on salt and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
Dice the broccoli into small florets. Once the beetroot has had 15 minutes in the oven, remove the tray and add the broccoli. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast for a further 20-25 minutes until the beetroot is fork tender.
Make the dressing by combining the ingredients and stirring well.
Dry toast the almonds and pumpkin seeds in a skillet on a low heat for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Once the vegetables have cooled, combine with with the dressing. Spoon onto your serving plate and sprinkle over the almonds and pumpkin seeds.
Notes
It isn't necessary to remove the skins of the beetroot.
Keep an eye on the beetroot and broccoli in the last five minutes of cook time. You want the broccoli to be very lightly browning, but definitely not burnt!
If the beetroot requires more time, remove the roasted broccoli and continue to cook the beetroot. This should only be needed if the beetroot has been cut into larger pieces.
To dry toast the nuts and seeds, add to a skillet without any oil. Toast on a low-medium heat for a few minutes.
