Step-by-step instructions

Step 1

Prepare & Roast Vegetables::

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Wash the fresh produce. Slice ½ of the red onion into 1 cm wedges and finely dice remaining half. Cut parsnip into 1 cm wedges. Cut pumpkin into 1 cm wedges, discarding seeds and skin. Add pumpkin, parsnip and red onion wedges to a lined large roasting tin (or tray), drizzle with olive oil and season to taste. Roast for 25 minutes. At the halfway point, toss vegetables and drizzle with the honey.

Step 2

Add Ciabatta & Sunflower Seeds:

In the meantime, cut the ciabatta into 1½ cm cubes. After 25 minutes of roasting, scatter the cubed ciabatta and sunflower seeds over the top. Return to the oven for a further 5 minutes or until toasted.

Step 3

Add to Bowl:

Put the spinach into a large bowl and add the roasted vegetables and ciabatta.

Step 4

Make Dressing:

Whisk the vinegar, mustard, 2 Tbs olive oil (extra virgin if you have it) and 1 Tbs of the diced onion (to taste) together to make a dressing.

Step 5

You Plate It:
