Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

1. Massage the kale In a large bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper until tender.
2. Roast the sweet potato and pumpkin. Spread the sweet potato and pumpkin on a lined baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Roast for 40 minutes at 180c, turning halfway through.
3. To caramelize the nuts, heat a small saucepan and melt the butter over low heat. Add sugar and nuts, stirring constantly until caramelized. Watch closely to avoid burning – the caramelisation process happens suddenly, increase the heat if nothing is happening after a few minutes but be prepared to take it off the heat quickly if the mixture gets too dark.
4. Assemble the salad by combining the kale, roasted vegetables, caramelized nuts, and feta in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil from the fetta jar and mash all the ingredients together with the back of a spoon. It will take a few minutes to come together. You want the fetta evenly distributed and the roast vegetables to lose their form and combine with the other ingredients.
