Cooking Steps
• Cut beetroot into 1cm chunks. • In a large bowl, combine beetroot, peeled & chopped pumpkin, sesame seeds, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Set air fryer to 200°C. Place beetroot and pumpkin into the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. Shake the basket, then cook until tender, a further 5-10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool slightly. TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. it's done when you can pierce it with a fork.
• Meanwhile, slice chicken breast into strips. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, garlic & herb seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Once veggies are done, place chicken into air fryer basket and cook, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if needed). TIP: No air fryer? In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
• While chicken is cooking, finely chop garlic and roasted almonds. • In a large frying pan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring, until golden, 3 minutes. Add garlic and almonds and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and season to taste.
• To bowl with roasted veggies, add baby spinach leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Gently toss to combine and season to taste. • Divide sesame pumpkin and beetroot salad between plates. Top with herby chicken, sprinkling over the almond crumb. • Serve with mayonnaise. Enjoy!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The almond crumb sprinkle was a standout, with many customers praising the satisfying crunch and well-seasoned chicken. Some found the overall dish a little mild or dry, particularly without an added dressing or sauce.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and straightforward cook, though a few noted the multiple steps felt fiddly for what is a relatively simple dish.
- Suggestions: Several customers found the almond crumb generous and suggested using less to avoid the dish feeling heavy or dry. Adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze, extra dressing, or feta helped round out the flavours, and some recommended cooking beetroot separately or for longer, as it often needed an extra 5–10 minutes beyond the pumpkin.
- Leftovers: At least one customer saved the leftover almond crumb sprinkle to use with other meals, and others noted the extra crumb worked well repurposed this way.
- Portions: A few customers felt the spinach and beetroot quantities were on the small side relative to the chicken, making the salad feel a little unbalanced.
