The Ingredients

1 sweet potato

1/2 large aubergine

1 head of broccoli

1/2 bag of spinach

Dressing:

1 tbsp tahini

1 tsp tamari

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 tbsp water

Seed Garnish:

1/4 cup mixed seeds (sesame, pumpkin & sunflower)

1/2 tbsp tamari

pinch of chilli flakes

Method

Preheat the oven at 190 degrees Celsius. Start by peeling your sweet potato and chopping into bite sized cubes. Also prepare the aubergine by chopping into small cubes, lay both on a roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil. Place in the oven to cook for around 25 minutes.

Meanwhile make the dressing by combining all the ingredients and stirring until smooth. We are also going to make the garnish, by simply mixing all ingredients for the seed garnish together, putting on a small roasting tray and roasting for around 3 minutes. Remove from oven and leave to cool.

When the potato and aubergine are nearly done, you want to steam the broccoli and spinach. Place in a bowl and top with the roasted sweet potato, and aubergine, sprinkles of the seed mix and lathers of the delicious tahini dressing!
