STEP-BY-STEP METHOD
- Pre-heat the oven to gas 7/280°C/180°C fan
- Slice the aubergines and sweet potatoes into long wedges and place evenly on a baking tray. Sprinkle with the ground cumin, some olive oil and a pinch of salt and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until golden, browned and soft.
- While the vegetables are roasting make your tahini dressing. Peel and chop the garlic wash and chop the parsley finely and chop the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into a bowl and add the garlic and leave for 10 minutes. Then add the tahini, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt and 150ml of warm water. Stir and set aside.

This should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Finally stripped the mint leaves from the stems and sliced them finely.
- When the aubergine and sweet potato are fully cooked divide them onto the spinach leaves sprinkle over the toasted nuts and seed mix and drizzle with the tahini dressing.
