roasted_root_veggies

This is a remake from my ordered serving from the interesting environmentally conscious restaurant, Greenhouse by Joost.

 

 baby carrots, a small bunch with leaves attached
 4 baby beetroot
 100g pistachios
 1 sweet potato, chopped into large pieces
 1 teaspoon, sea salt
 olive oil, 1 ½ tablespoons
 fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon chopped
 cream cheese, 160g
 chervil leaves

 method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Combine the root chopped vegetables in a baking pan with the oil, salt, thyme and one tablespoon of pistachios. Bake for 50 minutes, turning the vegetables over once during cooking time.
2. Before serving, blend or crush the remainder of the pistachio and line a dish with cream cheese.
3. Drain the access oil off the vegetables and place evenly over the cream cheese, and sprinkle with the crushed pistachios and chervil leaves.

The vegetables and cream cheese can be prepared on an individual plate or in a dish for self-serving. The cream cheese blends together with the juices of the beetroot so scrumptiously!

Hi Julie, I love your site. But I have a question. In the US we use degree's, what should i put my oven temperature on?. I know that sounds to simple for me not to be able to work it out, but you know your cousin is getting to be an old lady now and need your younger than mine mind.

Mmmmmmmmm! Can I come over, only I would appreciate this divine dish. Though, it's quite healthy, I may get away with eating it all on my own guilt-free smilies/wink.gif
