  1. WARM ROAST VEG

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the Butternut half-moons, the halved baby carrots, and the rinsed rosemary sprigs on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Discard the rosemary.

  2. COOK THE 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.

  3. MAPLE NUTS

    Roughly chop the mixed nuts. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chopped nuts until browned, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir through the maple syrup, the juice of 1 Lemon wedge, ½ the lemon zest (to taste), and seasoning. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. ALL ABOUT THE BASE

    In a salad bowl, combine the dijon dressing, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Toss through the cooked Quinoa and the rinsed green leaves.

  5. FINAL TOUCHES

    Make a bed of the dressed Quinoa salad. Top with the roasted veg. Drizzle over the cashew nut cream cheese. Scatter over the maple nuts, the crispy onion bits, and the remaining lemon zest. Finish it off with a crack of black pepper, and serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Beautiful work, Chef!
