Step 1
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. In a bowl, whisk 2 tbsp of dukkah with the salt and egg whites. On a large baking tray place each beetroot on a spoonful of salt mixture, leaving spaces in-between. Mould the mixture over each beetroot ensuring that it is completely sealed and there are no gaps. Cook for 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the beets, until a knife pierces them easily. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 3
Once cool enough to handle, crack open the salt dough and peel the beetroots. Cut into chunky pieces, toss with the apple and dressing, sprinkle over the rest of the dukkah and serve with crusty bread.
