Cooking Instructions for making Roasted beetroot, parsnip and winter veg quinoa salad
Wash and wrap the beetroot in foil and cook in a preheated oven on 160C for 1 hour. Once cooked, chop into cubes
Wash and wrap the sweet potato with a damp paper kitchen towel then with foil and cook in a preheated oven with the beetroot for around 1h 15min or until it’s soft when you poke with a fork. Once cooked chop into cubes
Wash, peel and chop the carrots and parsnips, drizzle some olive oil and cook in the oven for around 30-40 minutes with three garlic cloves
Now once everything is ready, move the veggies and quinoa into a large bowl (WITHOUT the roasted garlic)
To prepare the dressing, smash the roasted garlic with a fork or pestle and mortar and mix with 1 tablespoon of pomegranate molasses with a big drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt
Pour the dressing over the ingredients and combine
Move to a serving plate and top with some pecans and a sprinkle of you favourite cheese. I used westocombe cheddar
