Gather the following kitchen tools:

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the purple sweet potatoes, strawberries, and beetroot. Slice the potatoes into rounds, quarter the strawberries, and chop the beetroot into chunks. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender.

Meanwhile, thinly slice the fennel bulb and toast the walnuts in a dry pan until fragrant. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and a touch of olive oil to create a dressing.

Assembly

In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted vegetables and fruits with the fennel slices and walnuts. Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

This colorful and flavorful dish weighs approximately 800g once cooked. It serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 200g. A serving of this dish is estimated to be around 250 calories.

Tips

To take this dish to the next level, try adding a handful of crumbled feta cheese or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or mint before serving. The added creaminess and freshness will elevate the flavors and textures.
