• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut and peel kumara into bite-sized chunks. Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies and a generous drizzle of olive oil on a lined oven tray. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • Allow to cool slightly.

Little cooks: Take charge by combining the sauces!
• Heat a large frying pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Season chicken thigh on both sides. • When the oil is hot, cook chicken for 2 minutes each side.
• Add the honey soy mixture to the frying pan and cook, turning chicken to coat until slightly reduced, 1 minute. • Transfer chicken to a second lined oven tray and spoon over any remaining honey-soy sauce. • Bake until cooked through, 12-14 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• In a second small bowl, combine the Japanese dressing and mayonnaise. Set aside. • In a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, cucumber, roasted veggies and a drizzle of rice wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salad!
• Slice honey-soy chicken. • Divide roast kumara and veggie toss between bowls. Top with chicken and drizzle over Japanese mayo. • Garnish with crushed peanuts. Enjoy!
