Veggie Chips


Ingredients

Moro Pure Spray Primero Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Moro Pure Spray Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil,You can use any of the below vegetables,Beetroot,Carrot,Sweet potato,Eggplant with garlic,Spicy kale

Method

Veggie chippies are great way to add more flavour and nutrients to your eating. And I love making these for family and friends. They’re full of colour and they’re so fun to share with the people you love most! It’s as simple as finely cutting the ingredients up, laying them out on a baking tray and roasting them with your favourite spices. I love to use chilli, lime juice, coriander seeds and sometimes I’m in the mood for fennel seeds, but it’s totally up to you. You can just go for a simple rock salt and pepper combo. Then just give a generous spray of Moro Pure Spray Primero Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
The cooking time depends on the size of your batch and the thickness of your chippies. I cut them super fine and they only take 10-15 mins. Give them a whirl, they make a great addition to dips, a side to meals and even add that little bit of extra crunch to a salad!

Method

Combine your quinoa and water in a pot and add a pinch of salt, then let your quinoa mixture simmer for a further 10-15 minutes on a low heat. When it’s ready the quinoa will grow double in size and it will look like it has sprouted little tails. Take it off the heat and add the beetroot and carrot. Mix it through the quinoa, the heat from the quinoa will start to heat the beetroot and carrot, then add the rocket, almonds and goji berries and mix well.
Cut your pomegranate in half and with the back of a fork tap the seeds out into the mix and stir through the colourful creation, squeeze any pomegranate juice over the top of the salad too. In a little bowl, whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and zest, season the dressing with salt and pepper and pour over the salad.
Top the salad with a few fresh springs of mint.
