  • sliced avocado 
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries 
  • olive oil 
  • nutritional yeast 
  • salt and pepper 
  • 1-2 tsp balsamic vinegar 
  • 1 tbsp honey 

Caramelized seeds and pecans 

  • 1/3 cup mixed seeds 
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans 
  • 1/2 cup syrup or honey 
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon 

Curry sauce 

  • 1/3 cup runny tahini 
  • 1/4 cup raw honey or syrup 
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk 
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard 
  • 1/2 tsp ground or freshly grated turmeric 
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger 
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 
  • salt and pepper to taste 
  • hot water to smooth out if needed 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven or air-fryer to 180 degrees Celsius and add the sliced Brussels sprouts and butternut to a parchment paper-lined tray. Drizzle with 1-2 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1-2 tbsp honey or syrup, and some salt and pepper, and roast for about 15-20 minutes until golden. 
  2. Add the mixed seeds and pecans to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and drizzle with the honey and cinnamon. Let it bake for 10 minutes or so until jammy, let it cool, and break it into pieces to serve. 
  3. Mix or blend together the sauce ingredients and set aside. 
  4. Once the veggies have cooked and you are ready to assemble the salad, start by adding the quinoa to a bowl, roasted vegetables on top, cranberries, caramelised seeds & pecans, sliced avocado, and a generous drizzle of the curried sauce on top. 
  5. Serve and enjoy!
