ROAST ’EM UP
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the sweet potato chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out evenly on one side of the tray. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. Place the cauliflower pieces in a bowl and coat in oil. Sprinkle over the tapioca flour and the buffalo spice to taste. Toss with your hands until coated, season to taste, and set aside.
YOU’RE HALFWAY!
When the sweet potato reaches the halfway mark, remove from the oven and give a shift. Place the spiced cauli on the other side of the tray, spread out in a single layer, and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time. On completion, the cauli should be crispy and the sweet potato should be cooked through and caramelised.
RANCH DRESSING
Place a small pot over a medium heat with 1 tbsp of oil. When hot, fry the One For All Rub for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add in the ranch dressing and three-quarters of the chopped chives. Whisk together with the juice of 1 Lemon wedge and some seasoning to taste. Once well combined, remove the pot from the heat. Pop on a lid and set aside to keep warm until serving.
CHAR THE GEMS
Halve the lettuce head lengthways, keeping the stem intact. Set one half aside for another meal. Gently rinse and pat dry. When the veggies have 5-10 minutes to go, place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, char the lettuce cut-side down for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan on completion and season lightly.
IT’S YOUR SERVE!
Dish up the roast sweet potato and top with the crunchy cauli. Place the charred gem alongside and garnish with the crispy onions and the Lemon zest to taste. Sprinkle over the remaining chopped chives, cover in drizzles of ranch dressing, and serve with a lemon wedge on the side. Yeehaw!
