Cooking Steps

Roast the beetroot & cook the bacon
1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
  • Cut beetroot into wedges.
  • Place beetroot on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over savoury seasoning and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 30-35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  •  Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.

Make the croutons
2
  • Cut or tear bake-at-home ciabatta into bite-sized chunks.
  • When beetroot has 10 minutes remaining, place croutons on a second lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Spread out evenly and bake until golden, 5-7 minutes.
Get prepped
3
  • While croutons are baking, thinly slice pear into wedges. Trim and halve green beans. Finely chop garlic.
  • Thinly slice Brie.
  • In a small heatproof bowl, microwave a good drizzle of oil with garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
Steam the green beans
4
  • Add green beans and a splash of water to a large microwave-safe bowl, then cover with damp paper towel. 
  • Microwave green beans on high until just tender, 2-4 minutes.
  • Drain green beans, then return to the bowl and allow to cool slightly.
Toss the salad
5
  • To bowl with green beans, add spinach & rocket mix, pear, croutons, almonds and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. 
  • Sprinkle with diced bacon and toss to combine. Season to taste.
Finish & serve
6
  • Divide bacon crouton salad between bowls. Top with roasted beetroot and chopped Brie.
  • Drizzle over garlic chilli oil to serve. Enjoy!
