Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan forced. • Cut peeled pumpkin pieces into chunks. Cut onion into wedges. Cut beetroot into small chunks. Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Add garlic & herb seasoning and drizzle with olive oil. • Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato. Cut or tear wholemeal panini into bite-sized chunks.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Place panini pieces on a second lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. • Toss to coat and bake until golden, 5-7 minutes.
• While the croutons are baking, combine a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. • When the veggies have cooled slightly, gently toss mixed salad leaves, roast veggies, croutons and tomato with the dressing.
• Divide roast pumpkin salad between bowls. • Crumble over feta (see ingredients), sprinkle with toasted almonds and drizzle with creamy pesto dressing. Enjoy!
