Give your roots a boost this Christmas by making this sticky maple syrup for your squash, parsnips and carrots. They'll love it!
Ingredients
- Half 1 butternut squash,
- 500g baby Chantenay carrots
- 750g bag frozen roasting parsnips
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
Method
- Halve 1 butternut squash, discarding the fibres and seeds, then peel. Cut into chunks and put in a large roasting tin – use the tray that fits into the oven rungs. Add 500g baby Chantenay carrots and 750g bag frozen roasting parsnips. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil and season. Toss together and roast at 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5 for 45 minutes (pop in the oven 15 minutes before you remove the foil from the turkey). Drizzle 4 tablespoons maple syrup over the vegetables and toss together well. Return to the oven and roast for a further 15-20 minutes at 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7, until tender, golden and sticky.
