When it comes to fresh green veg, broccoli is hard to beat. Try it roasted with butternut squash and red onions, served with a creamy cashew dressing.

Ingredients

Butternut Squash

1 portion(s), halved, deseeded and diced

Red onion

2 small, cut into wedges

Calorie controlled cooking spray

8 spray(s)

Coriander, Dried

1 tablespoon(s), level

Chilli flakes

1 teaspoon(s), level

Broccoli, raw

200 g, tenderstem

Cashew Nuts

50 g, unsalted

Garlic

1 clove(s), crushed

Chilli, green or red

2 individual, deseeded and chopped

Shallots

1 medium, chopped

Walnut Oil

1 tablespoon(s)

Lemon

1 zest(s) of 1

Lemon Juice, Fresh

2 tablespoon(s)

Coriander, fresh

25 g, chopped

Basil, fresh

25 g, chopped

Instructions

  1. To make the cashew dressing, put the cashews in a small bowl, cover with cold water and set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Drain the cashews and put them into a mini food processor or blender with the remaining dressing ingredients. Blitz until smooth and combined, adding a splash of water if the dressing is too thick. Season to taste.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas mark 7. Put the butternut squash and onions on a large baking tray, mist all over with cooking spray and scatter over the ground coriander and chilli flakes. Season well, toss everything together and roast for 30 minutes until tender. Add the broccoli to the tray, mist with more cooking spray and roast for another 15 minutes until the broccoli is starting to char. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces.
  3. To serve, transfer the warm roasted vegetables to a large platter and spoon over the cashew dressing.

Notes

To bulk this up, cook 240g dry quinoa to pack instructions, then toss the grains through the salad.
