- Cut the apples in half and half again, then carefully remove the core and cut each quarter into two slices. Place in a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Place on a parchment-lined tray and bake for 10 minutes. Turn carefully using a palette knife and continue to cook until golden, then remove from the oven.
- Use a large serving platter and scatter the roasted parsnips over the base, before adding the roasted apple wedges and both sliced and diced Ballymaloe Irish Beetroot. Crumble the Feta on top.
- Finish with toasted pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a sprinkling of sea salt & freshly-cracked black pepper and a delicious drizzle of honey.
