Method<\/span><\/p>
Preheat the oven to 200C\/180Cfan\/Gas 4.<\/li>
Start by cooking the beetroot \u2013 toss the beetroot, olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander and salt and pepper together in a bowl. Mix well to coat the beetroot in the seasonings. Transfer the beetroot to a roasting tin.<\/li>
Roast the beetroot, uncovered, in the oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes cover the roasting tin with foil and roast for a further 30 minutes or until the beetroot is tender. NB the roasting time of the beetroot can vary according to the size and maturity of the beetroots. Set aside to cool down.<\/li>
Tip the cooked, cooled, beetroot into a food processor; add the zest and juice of a Clementine, blend until smooth. Add the cream cheese and horseradish sauce and the Black Garlic to the beetroot pur\u00e9e and blend again. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Chill in the refrigerator while you make the crostini.<\/li>
Preheat the oven to 200C\/180Cfan\/Gas4. Lightly brush each slice of baguette on both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle over a little Black Garlic Sea Salt on both sides. Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, turning over halfway through the cooking time. Set aside to cool down until ready to assemble the crostini.<\/li>
To assemble the crostini \u2013 spread each piece of baguette with the beetroot p\u00e2t\u00e9. Dust the top of each crostini with finely grated feta cheese \u2018snow\u2019. Arrange the pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries to resemble mini holly leaves.<\/li><\/ul>
