Preparation

Preheat your oven to 180c Fanbake


Kumera


Grab a Kumera for each person ( I picked smallish ones )


Then wash them ( keep the skin on ) prick them all over with a fork and place them on an over tray.


Drizzle with olive oil, salt & pepper and bake for 40 mins at 180c until they are soft. Now time to prepare the croutons.


Croutons


Toss all ingredients together in a bowl then place on a baking tray and bake for approx 35-40 mins alongside the kumera until they are crunchy ish.

While your Kumera and chickpea croutons are baking prepare your salad:

Add all the ingredients to a bowl and toss.


Now prepare you dressing. Mix all the ingredients with a fork in a small bowl until all combined.


When your Kumera is ready - take them out of the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a plate. Slice it longways down the middle with a knife and open it up. Mash it slightly with a fork to create a bed for your salad.


Then dress with a handful of salad, croutons and drizzle with the peanut dressing.


Now dive in & Enjoy 😄
