INGREDIENTS:
- 850g orange sweet potato, cut into 3cm chunks
- Olive oil spray
- Salt, to taste
- 2 red onions, each cut into 8 wedges
- 2 corn cobs
- 400g can chickpeas, drained
- 1/2 cup ZoOsh It Must Be Love Creamy Potato with Classic Chives dressing
- BBQ Lamb cutlets, for serving (optional)
METHOD:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the sweet potato chunks onto a lined tray, then spray them with oil and season with a touch of salt. Roast them in the hot oven for 45-50 minutes, or until they turn tender and golden. Meanwhile, place the onion wedges onto another lined tray, spray them with oil, and roast for 20-25 minutes until they caramelize and become slightly crispy.
- While the vegetables roast, prepare the corn. Spray the corn cobs with oil and chargrill them in a hot pan or on a BBQ for about 8-10 minutes. Once they’re nicely charred, carefully slice the kernels off the cobs.
- After the roasted vegetables have cooled slightly, combine them with the grilled corn kernels and the drained chickpeas. Drizzle the salad with the creamy ZoOsh It Must Be Love Creamy Potato with Classic Chives dressing, allowing the flavors to meld together in a harmonious union.
- For an added touch of indulgence, serve this delightful salad alongside BBQ lamb cutlets, if desired.
