Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180C fan and line a baking tray with parchment paper, lightly spraying with oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Place the soaked and rinsed quinoa (1 cup) in a food processor with turmeric powder (1 tbsp), salt (1 pinch), and pepper (1 pinch). Blend for 5 minutes until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour the mixture onto the tray and spread into a circle with a spoon. Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

  4. 4

    Arrange green asparagus (8 stalk) and cherry tomatoes (6) on a separate tray, toss with olive oil (1 tsp), season with salt and pepper, and roast for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Spread vegan pesto (2 tbsp) over the baked crust. Top with the roasted vegetables, rocket salad (1 handful), and pine nuts (1 handful) before serving.
