Instructions
Heat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Scrub the potatoes and cut into wedges. rinse and pat dry with kitchen roll, or tea towel. Lightly oil and sprinkle with rosemary
Root vegetables
Peel the beetroot and scrub the vegetables, and cut into wedges or sticks of equal thickness.
Mix honey and olive oil in a bowl. Add the root vegetables, toss to coat well, season generously with salt and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a baking tray, arranging in a circular pattern if you like. Tuck in the onion wedges, and drizzle over any remaining honey-oil mixture.
Roast for 25–30 minutes until the edges are colouring and vegetables have softened.
Garlic yoghurt dressing
Prepare the garlic yoghurt: whisk yoghurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and salt until smooth.
Herbs, halloumi and olives
Add the chopped herbs to the baking tray, stir the vegetables around, then add the halloumi slices. Brush the tops lightly with oil. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.
Check the tray after 10 minutes – the vegetables should be browned, and the halloumi golden and crisping at the edges. Give it 5 minutes more if needed, turning the tray for even cooking.
Heat up a dry frying pan and add the pine nuts. Lightly toast, stirring occasionally.
Serve
Arrange the pototoes and vegetables in a circle around the serving dish and place the roasted halloumi and olives on top.
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts. Serve hot with garlic yoghurt and lemon wedges.
