Roasted Sweet Potato And Chicken Salad Recipes

ROAST CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATO GREMOLATA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Grate the zest and squeeze the juice from the lemon into 2 bowls, then push the wedges inside the cavity of the chicken with the parsley stalks. Put the chicken in a roasting tin and roast for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, scrub the sweet potatoes (no need to peel) and cut into chunks. Put in another roasting tin with the onions, fennel, and 6 whole garlic cloves, then toss with the oil. When the chicken has had its 30 mins, put the potatoes in the oven and roast for 30-40 mins more.
• Meanwhile, finely chop the remaining garlic clove for the gremolata, then mix with the lemon zest and parsley. Mix the lemon juice, oil and some black pepper in a bowl.
• Remove the chicken and potatoes from the oven. Cover the chicken and leave to rest. Stir half the gremolata mix into the lemon juice and oil. Stir the spinach through the potato mix and return to the oven for 2 mins to wilt. Tip into the lemon dressing and toss well. Carve a chunk of breast meat from the chicken (you need about 140g), remove the skin, then cut into pieces. Toss into the salad with the pomegranate seeds, then serve scattered with the remaining gremolata.

Roast chicken and vegetables, turning vegetables occasionally, until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. While chicken roasts, put salad greens in a serving bowl; set aside.

ROAST POTATO SALAD WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then put them in an ovenproof dish or roasting pan. Break the garlic into cloves, but don't peel them. Add them to the potatoes. Drizzle over a little olive oil, then scatter with flakes of sea salt and the leaves from the rosemary or thyme sprigs. Bake for three-quarters of an hour to an hour, until they are puffed and golden and their insides are fluffy.
• Pour the vinegar into a small jar with a lid and add the mustard, olive oil, and some salt and pepper. Shake it hard to give a thick dressing. You can use a little whisk if you prefer. When the potatoes come from the oven, press down hard on each one with the back of a spoon so that they crack open slightly, then pour over the mustard dressing. As you eat, press the soft garlic from its skin.
