Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 raw baby beetroots , or 4 medium, scrubbed (purple, yellow or a mixture of the two)
1 tbsp za'atar
1 tbsp sumac
1 tbsp ground cumin
400g can chickpeas , drained and rinsed

1 tbsp harissa paste
1 tsp crushed red chilli flakes

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Halve the beetroots. Or quarter them if you're using medium ones or bigger. Mix all the spices together. On a very large baking tray or 2 smaller ones, mix the chickpeas and beetroot with the oil. Season well with sea salt and sprinkle the spices over. Mix again. Roast for 30 mins or until crisp at the edges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your salad. Look for beets that are firm and deep red, and chickpeas that are plump and not wrinkled.
  • Roast the beets before adding them to the salad: This will help to concentrate their flavor and make them slightly caramelized.
  • Use a variety of textures in your salad: The roasted beets, crunchy walnuts, and soft chickpeas all add different textures that make the salad more interesting to eat.
  • Dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and a little bit of honey is all you need to dress this salad. You can also add a little bit of cumin or coriander for extra flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made, while the beets are still warm and the chickpeas are still crunchy.

Conclusion:

This chickpea and beetroot salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It is packed with nutrients, including fiber, protein, and vitamins. The roasted beets add a sweet and earthy flavor, while the chickpeas add a nutty flavor and texture. The salad is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you can add other vegetables, such as carrots or cucumber, or you can use a different type of dressing.
