الخطوات

Roasted Potatoe and Chickpeas

  • preheat oven to 200°C
  • Roll up a piece of aluminum foil to act as a barrier in your baking sheet so we have two separate roasting zones. (check images in the blog for visual)
  • Drain chickpeas and rinse well under some cool water. Dump out onto a kitchen towel and gently roll the chickpeas to dry. Some skin might come off that's fine.
  • Place chickpeas in a small bowl and mix with 2 tbsp olive oil (don't add seasoning).
  • Spread chickpeas on one half of the roasting sheet.
  • Place sliced roasted sweet potatoes in a bowl, drizzle on 2 tbsp olive oil, and season with ¼tsp salt and ¼ black pepper. Mix well, and place on the second half of the roasting sheet.
  • Place in oven. After 25 minutes flip sweet potatoes over and move your chickpeas around so that they roast on both sides evenly. Place back in the oven for another 20 minutes or until both have browned nicely.
  • Remove from the oven.
  • Place chickpeas in a bowl. While they are warm, season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Kale

  • Remove Kale from stems. Fill a bowl with cool water and submerge the kale into the water, move it around a bit to loosen any dirt.
  • Remove kale and place in a colander give it one more rinse under cool water, then lay it out on some towels to dry. If you have a salad spinner, spin the kale in batches to dry them off quicker.
  • After it has properly dried place it in a large bowl add olive oil, lemon, salt and proceed to massage the kale well. Spend a good 3-5 minutes doing this, you will visibly see the kale relax and take up less space in the bowl. Set aside.

Caesar Dressing

  • in a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, anchovy, lemon juice, dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Add mayonnaise, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper, whisk to combine. Set aside.

Assembly

  • Add the dressing to kale in batches and mix well (use your hands it's the best way to dress a salad). Add as much or as little as you like, and extra dressing can be placed in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Add the sweet potatoes and sliced apples.
  • Sprinkle on the roasted chickpeas.
  • Shave on some extra parmesan cheese.
