Preheat oven to 200°C. Peel the kumara, and cut into chunky pieces. Place in a baking dish, brush with the olive oil and sprinkle over the sumac. Bake for around ½ hour until tender. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Bruise the garlic with the back of a knife and rub on to the bread slices. Cut the bread into chunky croutons, spread on a baking dish and sprinkle with olive oil. Bake until lightly coloured and crisp in the oven at the same time as the kumara.
Dressing – Mix together the lemon juice, honey, garlic and olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper.
To Serve – In a bowl toss together the salad ingredients along with a kumara and croutons. Spoon over the dressing and toss again. Sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds and a drizzle of natural yoghurt.
