Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. Cut beetroot into 1cm chunks. Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with chermoula spice blend and season with salt. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, grate carrot (see ingredients). Thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Pick and thinly slice herbs. Roughly chop roasted almonds.
In a medium bowl, combine carrot, falafel mix, currants, fine breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt. Using damp hands, roll and press heaped tablespoons of falafel mixture into small balls (3 falafels per person). Transfer to a plate.
In a large frying pan, heat olive oil (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people) over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook falafels, turning, until browned and heated through, 5-7 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Remove pan from heat, then add apricot sauce and toss falafels to coat.
In a second medium bowl, combine mixed leaves, cucumber, almonds, herbs and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
Divide apricot glazed falafels, chermoula veggies and cucumber, mint and almond salad between plates. Serve with garlic dip.
