A flavourful way to add colour and variety to your plate is to roast butternut with aromatic spices.

Serving Size
Serves 4
Ingredients
5 ml ground coriander
5 ml paprika
10 ml dried origanum
5 ml ground cumin
½ tsp curry powder
45 ml olive or canola oil
¼ tsp salt
30 ml lemon juice
45 ml water
500 g butternut, peeled and cubed
black pepper to taste
410 g tin chickpeas, drained
4 small spinach leaves or 2 handfuls lettuce leaves, roughly torn
Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 ˚C. Place spices, half the oil, salt, lemon juice, water and butternut in a large bowl and mix well.
2. Season with black pepper and place
in an oven dish. Roast for 30 minutes or until butternut is tender. Allow to cool.
Stir in chickpeas.
3. Spoon onto spinach or lettuce and drizzle with remaining oil. Enjoy as a salad.

Serve with oven-baked or roasted fish, chicken or meat. Fill your plate with green veggies, fruit or a tomato salad.

Tip:

1. Crumble 1 slice of feta over the salad for more flavour, but omit the salt.
2. For added texture, serve with raw pumpkin seeds.
3. The spinach can be stirred into the hot butternut to soften the leaves a little. Serve as above.
4. Add any fresh ingredients of your choice like tomatoes, cucumber or green beans to the salad.
