One-Tray Roasted Winter Salad

Roasted salads are a total game-changer. The textures soften and the flavours enhance, and it's really no more complicated than making a standard salad. It also is delicious cold the next day.

Serves 2
Total Time
50 Minutes
Ingredients
1 small butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into chunks
2 small red onions, peeled and cut into quarters
1 x 400g tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 handfuls of kale, tough stalks removed first, sliced into ribbons
A small handful of hazelnuts (approx. 30g)
1 orange, peeled and torn or sliced into segments
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the dressing
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
A pinch of sea salt
Method
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.

Step 2

Whisk together all the dressing ingredients until emulsified and smooth.

Step 3

Tumble the butternut squash chunks, red onions and chickpeas on to a roasting tray, and pour over half the dressing, turning it all over a few times to make sure everything is well coated. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the squash is tender and cooked through.

Step 4

Add the sliced kale to the roasting tray, along with the rest of the dressing, and mix well. Sprinkle with the hazelnuts. Roast for a further 5 to 7 minutes, until the kale is a little wilted. Take care it doesn’t burn.

Step 5

Divide between two bowls, allow to cool slightly, then top with the orange segments and season with salt and pepper to taste.
