Cooking fresh beetroot means you avoid the taste of sweetened beetroot.  This particularly works well with the combinations here with the Macadamia oil complimenting the taste of the seeds.  You can substitute the Macadamia oil with olive oil.

Ingredients

  • 2 small beetroots – washed
  • 8 broccolini – washed
  • 2 tablespoons each of sesame, pumpkin and sunflower seeds
  • 2 tablespoons macadamia or olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
