ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS AND RED ONION
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Set the beets, garlic and rosemary on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, sprinkle with some salt and pepper and add a splash of water. Fold the foil up into a pouch and seal the edges. Transfer to the oven and cook until the beets are easily pierced with a knife, 45 to 50 minutes. When done, remove the beets from the pouch and set them aside until cool enough to handle. With a paper towel rub the skins from the beets. Cut the peeled beets into bite-size cubes. Mince the roasted garlic.
- Combine the beets, garlic, chickpeas, red onion, pickles and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss to mix. Transfer the salad to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the cotija and cilantro and serve.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the carrots, celeriac and squash in a large bowl. Sprinkle over ¾ of the spices and ¾ of the oil. Toss to combine and season. Transfer to two large roasting trays. Add the beetroot to the same bowl, and toss in the remaining oil, spices and some seasoning, then divide between the roasting trays (coating the beetroot separately will stop everything turning purple). Roast the veg for 45 mins or until tender, tossing halfway. Add the chickpeas to the tray, stir, then return to the oven for 5 mins.
- Meanwhile, mix the onion with the vinegar, sugar and some seasoning. Set aside to pickle.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a sharing platter, stir through the pickled onions and their vinegar, the herbs and almonds, and serve.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe beets. If you can't find fresh beets, you can use canned beets, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
- To save time, you can cook the beets in advance. Simply wrap them in foil and bake them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until they are tender. Once they are cool, you can peel and slice them.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to slice the beets and chickpeas. Just be careful to slice them thinly and evenly.
- For a more flavorful salad, try roasting the chickpeas before adding them to the salad. Simply toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- If you are vegan, you can use a vegan mayonnaise or yogurt in the dressing. You can also omit the feta cheese or use a vegan alternative.
