Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Cut slits into the beetroot, 3mm apart, stopping 1cm from the bottom so they hold together. An easy way to do this is to lay the beetroot between 2 wooden spoon handles and cut down the beetroot until the knife hits the handles.
  2. Transfer to a baking tray, drizzle with 3 tbsp oil and season. Roast for 1 hr, shuffling the tray halfway through to make sure they’re not sticking, until tender and the veg is starting to crisp.
  3. Meanwhile, make the dressing by blitzing the parsley, coriander, basil, chilli, lemon juice, garlic and 2 tbsp oil in a food processor. Add a splash of cold water if it feels too thick.
  4. Spread the yogurt on a serving platter and arrange the beetroot on top. Drizzle over the herby dressing and top with the lemon zest and a crack of black pepper.
