Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Put all the vegetables into a large roasting tin, drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with the cumin and season to taste. Mix together, then roast for about 40 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and turning golden.
Meanwhile, combine the butter, parsley, lemon zest and juice. Season. Wrap in cling film and chill until firm.
Put the roasted vegetables into a large serving bowl. Cut the butter into chunks and place on top of the vegetables to melt.
