What’s not to love about this dish, Chef? Salty & crispy bacon bits, sprinkled over butternut and onion that’s oven-roasted until golden. Some creamy crumblings of feta, greens for freshness, and a tantalisingly tasty mustard & maple syrup salad dressing.

  1. ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut pieces and the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ¼ of the chopped rosemary, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. CRISPY BACON

    Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, fry the bacon strips until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and roughly slice.

  3. SALAD DRESSING

    Return the pan, wiped down, to low heat with a drizzle of olive oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the remaining rosemary until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the vinaigrette, 10ml of water, and seasoning. Mix to combine.

  4. DINNER IS READY

    Make a bed of the shredded salad leaves, top with the roast butternut & onion, and sprinkle over the sliced bacon. Drizzle over the salad dressing and scatter over the crumbled feta. Well done, Chef!
