Cooking Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the beetroot into small chunks. Place the beetroot and peeled & chopped pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.

While the veggies are roasting, finely chop the roasted almonds and garlic. Transfer the almonds to a medium bowl. Set aside. In a second medium bowl, combine the garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken thigh and turn to coat.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to the bowl with the almonds and toss to combine. Season and set aside.

Wipe out the frying pan, then return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. Remove from the heat.

TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
