Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C.
2.Toss the kumara in olive oil, cumin seeds and salt, then spread on a baking tray in a single layer. Bake until golden – about 20 minutes – then add bacon to the tray and drizzle over some molasses, cooking for a further 10 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
3.For the dressing, mix all of the ingredients together.
4.Serve the kumara and bacon up on a serving platter or individual plates. Add in the snow peas, drizzle over the dressing and sprinkle on some pomegranate seeds. Serve warm and enjoy.

Orange kumara is very sweet, soft and less floury than the purple variety. Pumpkin will work well in this salad too.
