    Roasted root vegetables with honey, cumin and thyme

    Serves: 6
    Cooking Time: 1 hr 10 mins

    Ingredients

    • 2 turnips, peeled and cubed
    • 3 large parsnips, peeled and cubed
    • 3 beetroot, peeled and cubed
    • 1 celeriac, peeled and cubed
    • 10 baby potatoes, halved
    • 10 baby carrots, halved
    • 2 red onions, peeled and cubed
    • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
    • 10ml (2 tsp) cumin seeds
    • a few sprigs fresh thyme
    • 45ml (3 tbsp) olive oil
    • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    • 30ml (2 tbsp) honey

    Instructions

    1

    Preheat the oven to 190°C.

    2

    Mix the vegetables in a large roasting tray, keeping the beetroot to one side so that it doesn’t make the rest pink. Add the cumin, thyme and oil, toss to coat and season.

    3

    Roast for about 1 hour, turning often, ensuring that you keep the beetroot as separate as possible. If the vegetables get too brown, cover them with foil.

    4

    When all the vegetables are soft, remove them from the oven and pour over the honey in a thin stream. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, then stir well and serve.

    Notes

    To drink: Elgin Vintners Viognier 2008, peachy with floral notes to soften the intense flavours of the vegetables.
