ROAST MOMENT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut half-moons and the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, ½ the chilli flakes (to taste), and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and starting to crisp, 30-35 minutes.
MASSAGE TIME
Place the drained chickpeas in a bowl. Coat in oil and seasoning. Place the shredded kale on a roasting tray. Massage with a drizzle of oil and seasoning until softened. Set the dressed chickpeas and the kale aside.
GORGEOUS GREEN DRESSING
To a blender, add the yoghurt, the tahini, ½ the chopped coriander, a squeeze of lemon juice, the lemon zest (to taste), 15ml of water, and seasoning. Pulse until a smooth, drizzling consistency. Add an extra splash of water if necessary. Alternatively, mix together in a bowl.
TOASTED
When the roast has 15 minutes to go, give the tray a shift, scatter over the dressed chickpeas, and return to the oven. Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CRISP & TOSS
When the roast has 8-10 minutes to go, pop the tray of kale into the hot oven and roast for the remaining time until crispy. Toss the roasted butternut, the crispy chickpeas, the roasted kale, and the onion wedges together.
SALAD TIME!
Make a bed of the roasted salad. Sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds, the remaining coriander, and the remaining chilli flakes (to taste). Crumble over the drained feta and drizzle over the creamy green dressing. Healthy and delicious, Chef!
