Baked Kumara Ribbons
These are great used as a topping for a green tossed salad. one way of getting another vegetable into your diet!! I like to use the orange coloured ones for these but i have also used the golden and the ordinary purple skinned ones if i haven't been able to find them. this recipe comes from my youngest daughter who added these to our salads when were visiting. I just had to keep making them on our return home and have posted it here so i don't forget what to do!!!!!
Steps
Peel the kumara and then using your potato peeler peel into ribbons.
Toss them in the olive oil , salt & pepper.
Spread out on a shallow baking tray.
Bake in a hot oven about 10 mins until golden and crispy.
Toss every few minutes to cook evenly.
Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Top off a green tossed salad with these and other goodies such as grated parmesan cheese , strips of red pepper , roasted cashews & chopped spring onions.
Use your favourite dressing or just toss through a little olive oil & balsamic vinegar.
Makes a simple salad look more impressive.
