Ingredients
Mushrooms are a potent source of antioxidants, packed with B vitamins and essential minerals potassium, selenium and copper. Plus they're low in energy, fat and salt, but high water and fibre content makes them filling and satisfying.
- 500g(1lb) sweet potatoes, peeled
- 250g pack large flat mushrooms, sliced
- 1 red pepper, deseeded, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 unpeeled garlic cloves
- 45ml (3tbsp) pine nuts
- 30ml (2tbsp) olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- Pinch of sugar
- 1 (95g) bag of baby salad leaves
- Salt and ground black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C/gas mark 6). Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized large chunks. Place in a large roasting tin and drizzle over half the oil. Roast for 10 mins or until just tender.
- Add the mushrooms, pepper, onion, garlic and pine nuts to the roasting tin. Toss well to coat in oil, season with a little salt and plenty of ground black pepper and roast for a further 15-20 mins. The potatoes and mushrooms should be tender.
- Remove the tray from the oven and take the garlic out of the tray. Slip the papery skin from the garlic and crush to a pulp with the back of a spoon. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining oil, garlic pulp, lemon juice, mustard and sugar to make a dressing. Season to taste.
- Empty the salad leaves onto a large platter, top with the roasted vegetables then drizzle over the dressing. Serve warm.
