NUTTY HONEY VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). When the roast has been in for 10 minutes, add the carrot wedges to the tray and return to the oven. In the final 5 minutes, scatter over the chopped hazelnuts and drizzle with honey. Toss together and return to the oven for the remaining time.
QUICK QUINOA
Place the rinsed quinoa in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
LOAD IT UP
When the quinoa is cooked, toss through ½ the chopped mint, ½ the drained feta, the lemon juice, the cucumber half-moons, the rinsed green leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
SUCCESS!
Plate up a bed of the loaded quinoa and top with the roasted nutty veg. Crumble over the remaining feta and garnish with the remaining mint.
