Instructions

1
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut onion into wedges. Cut beetroot into 1cm chunks. • Place onion and beetroot on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over garlic & herb seasoning. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • In the last 15 minutes of cooking time, add peeled pumpkin pieces and roast until tender.

• While the veggies are roasting, finely chop garlic. Finely grate carrot (see ingredients). Roughly chop baby leaves and parsley leaves.

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and bring to the boil. Add couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until the water has absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.

• In a medium bowl, combine carrot, falafel mix and fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients). Using damp hands, roll and press heaped tablespoons of falafel mix into small balls (4-5 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). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. • Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken breast strips until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate.

TIP: Ensuring the oil in the pan is hot before cooking gives the falafels a crispy texture and prevents them from sticking. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
