Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F. Line a flat baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Toss diced sweet potatoes and beets in a little olive oil and spread on the baking tray. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden brown. Season with salt and set aside. This can be done ahead of time (weekend or the night before).

3. 3

   Precut other vegetables while these are roasting and make the salad dressing.

4. 4

   Heat up a small frying pan and toast the sesame seeds until golden, 2-3 minutes. Stir them around quite a few times and keep an eye on them as they are easily burnt.

5. 5

   Transfer to a mortar and pestle and grind into almost powder. You can also add them to a food processor/blender with other ingredients. Combine ground up sesame seeds with other salad ingredients and whisk until smooth. Set aside.

6. 6

   Build your salad bowls or mix all together in one large container. Top with the dressing, extra sesame seeds and a few seaweed slices or similar topping. See above pics for how I built my power bowl.
