Ingredients
  • 12 carrots, chopped into large sticks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 log (about 100g) goat's cheese (chevre/log style), crumbled (for vegan, use a handful of cooked Puy lentils instead)
  • 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 4 handfuls watercress
  • 4 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped
For the dressing:
  • 1 tsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F/220C/gas 7. Put the chopped carrots into a roasting dish and drizzle with olive oil. Season and roast in the preheated oven for 45 mins, or until the carrots are soft and caramelised. Allow to cool slightly.

  2. Make the dressing by adding the ingredients to a jar with a little seasoning, then shake with the lid on until combined.

  3. To serve, divide the roasted carrots between 4 plates (or add to a salad bowl) and top with the other ingredients. Pour the dressing over and serve warm.
