- 1 tbsp warm honey
- 1 butternut squash
- 1 red onion
- 2 capsicums
- 150g baby potatoes
- 1 bulb of garlic
- 150g cherry tomatoes
- 200g asparagus
- 100g spring onion
- 100g baby leaf spinach
- ½ cup parsley, chopped
- 2/3 cup orzo, cooked
- ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
For Seasoning:
- 2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Pepper
- 1½ tsp Sumac
- 1/3 cup Olive oil
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
For the Dressing:
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Sumac
- 1 tbsp Pomegranate Molasses
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 5 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 sprigs of Rosemary
- 3 cloves of roasted Garlic
METHOD
Step 1:
Cut up all the vegetables, besides the spinach, into sizes suitable for roasting (~ 1-inch cubes).
Step 2:
The cherry tomatoes, asparagus, and spring onion take a lot less time to cook than the other vegetables, so you want to separate them into another tray.
Step 3:
Divide the seasoning mix between the two trays and toss to evenly coat the vegetables.
Step 4:
Roast the butternut, onion, capsicum, potatoes, and garlic until golden around the edges (approx. 40 minutes) at 180°C. The cherry tomatoes, asparagus, and spring onions should only take about 10 -15 minutes to roast. Allow vegetables to cool.
Step 5:
In a blender, pulse all the ingredients for the salad dressing together until well combined. Set aside.
Step 6:
Place the feta into an oven dish coated with olive oil.Brush the feta with the warm honey and bake in the oven for approximately 10 minutes at 200°C or until golden.
Step 7:
In a salad bowl, toss the roast vegetables, orzo, spinach, and parsley with the salad dressing. Top with toasted pine nuts and the baked feta crumbled on top!
