Ingredients
- 500g kumara, peeled, cut in 2cm cubes
- 2 medium red capsicums, seeded, cut in 2cm strips
- 2 large courgettes, trimmed, cut in 1cm thick slices
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- olive spray oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 x 400g cans no-added-salt chickpeas, rinsed, drained
- 100g baby spinach
- 50g feta, crumbled
Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Place kumara on one of the prepared trays. Place capsicum and courgette on second tray. Sprinkle both with 1 teaspoon of the cumin and spray lightly with oil. Roast kumara for 25 minutes, and capsicum and courgette for 15–20 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
2 Meanwhile, in a large salad bowl whisk lemon juice and oil with remaining teaspoon of cumin. Add chickpeas, stir and set aside for 5 minutes to absorb dressing flavours.
3 Add roasted vegetables and spinach to chickpeas and gently toss to combine. Divide salad among 4 serving plates, scatter with feta and serve.
