DUKKAH BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut half-moons and the onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat with the dukkah, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
LENTIL LOVIN’
Place the drained lentils on a separate roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. When the roast has 12-15 minutes remaining, give the veg tray a shift and pop the lentil tray into the oven for the remaining time until golden and crispy.
SALAD CITY
In a salad bowl, combine the pomegranate dressing, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Just before serving, add the rinsed salad leaves, the halved baby tomatoes, the roasted lentils, and ½ the chopped cranberries. Toss until fully coated in the dressing.
PITA PARTY
Place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the pitas until heated through, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, place them on a plate and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds. Cut into quarters and set aside.
GRAB THE PLATES
Pile up the dukkah roasted butternut & onion. Side with the pita quarters and the cranberry & lentil salad. Serve with the coconut yoghurt. Sprinkle over the picked mint and the remaining cranberries. Delish, Chef!
