Ingredients

3 red onions, cut into wedges
3 parsnips, cut into 4 lengthways
3 carrots, cut into 4 lengthways
3 beetroot, cut into wedges
A few fresh thyme sprigs
3 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
200g puy lentils
500ml vegetable stock
½ x 200g pack feta, crumbled
25g fresh flatleaf parsley, chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Put the onions and root veg in a large roasting tin with the thyme, then drizzle with most of the oil. Season well and roast for 30 minutes. Drizzle over the balsamic vinegar and a little more oil, then roast for another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the lentils in the vegetable stock for 20-25 minutes until tender, then drain well.
Add the lentils to the roasted veg, mix to combine, then tumble onto a serving platter. Scatter with the feta and parsley, then serve.
