Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Wrap each beetroot in foil and place on a baking tray. Bake for 1 hour or until tender. Set aside to cool. 

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, line a large baking tray with baking paper. Combine chickpeas, cumin, paprika, turmeric, sesame seeds and 1 tbs oil in a bowl. Season. Spread evenly over the lined tray. Bake for 20 mins or until crisp. Set aside to cool.

  3. Step 3

    Place the vinegar, honey, reserved orange juice and the remaining oil in a screw-top jar and shake until well combined. Season. 

  4. Step 4

    Unwrap beetroot. Wearing gloves to avoid staining your hands, peel each beetroot and cut into wedges.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange the rocket, parsley, mint, beetroot, orange, chickpea mixture and goat’s cheese on a serving platter. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and orange zest.
