1 red onion - cut into wedges
A handful sage
A handful of grated cheddar cheese
Extra Virgin Avocado oil and Natural Avocado Cooking oil

- In a fry pan over a high heat, fry off the bacon until golden and crispy. Set aside.
- Spread the cooked potatoes, kumara, beetroots and red onion evenly over the baking tray. Gently press tops of each root veggie with a fork (except the onion) until they are smashed but still holding their shape. Drizzle everything with avocado oil, a sprinkling of salt and pepper and roast for 15 minutes.
