Ingredients

Rapeseed oil for roasting
1 large cauliflower, sliced into florets, with the leaves
8 parsnips, peeled, each sliced into 4 long even pieces
3 tbsp salted caramel sauce (we used Joe and Seph’s, but Tiptree is also good – or use maple syrup)
Handful chopped fresh flatleaf parsley

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Drizzle a generous glug of oil into a large roasting tin. Add the cauliflower and parsnips, season with salt and pepper, then toss together to coat the veg in the oil.
Roast for 30-35 minutes until starting to brown. Remove the veg from the oven. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the veg, toss to coat and sprinkle with a little more sea salt. Return to the oven for 15 minutes until golden and cooked through. Serve scattered with the parsley.
