Ingredients

  • 900 g Fresh Beetroot - Cleaned, peeled and chopped into cubes
  • 1 TBS Organic Cold Pressed Olive Oil
  • 1/2 TBS Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Cups Fresh Rocket - or baby spinach
  • 3/4 Cup Walnuts
  • 1 Cup Green Beans - Cleaned, rinsed and ends chopped off
  • Broccoli - Cleaned, rinsed and chopped into florets

Instructions

  1. Pure-heat the oven to 220C (Fan Forced)

  2. Clean, peel, rinse and chop all the vegetables.

  3. Using two sheets of aluminium foil, please one down on a baking tray and lay the beetroot cubes evenly so that all of them are touching the baking tray. 

  4. Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the beetroot cubes and toss until all are evenly coated.

  5. Place the second sheet of foil on top and gently curl up the edges to seal the beetroot. This drastically cuts down cooking time and it 'steams' in the heat trapped in the foil.

  6. Roast on 220C (fan forced) or 30 mins. At the 30min mark, remove the tray - gently toss around the beetroot by picking up each corner of the foil bag to move the cubes inside around. 

  7. Reduce the heat to 200C (fan forced) and place back into the oven for a further 10 mins.

  8. At the further 10min mark, remove the top foil lid and roast for a further 10 mins uncovered to crisp up. 

  9. At this point, bring some water to the boil in a pot steamer (or steamer of your choice) and lightly steam the green beans and broccoli for approx 3-5 mins - depending on how crisp you want them. Once cooked, remove from the steamer and allow to cool.

  10. On a large plate/serving platter arrange the salad leaves, place the steamed greens and walnuts evenly around the plate.

  11. Once the beetroot is cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once cooled, place evenly on the salad and serve with your favourite salad dressing. 

Recipe Notes

Use Organic wherever possible - A suggestion for a lovely salad dressing is Organic cold pressed olive oil, balsamic vinegar, organic wholegrain mustard, fresh lemon juice, a dash of sweetener of your choice, salt and pepper - Shake up in a glass jar and adjust to your taste. Yum!
