Bring out the natural sweetness in seasonal root vegetables with a dash of maple syrup.

No Sunday lunch would be complete without a side of roasted seasonal root veg, and this recipe enhances the natural sweetness of carrots and parsnips with a dash of maple syrup and fresh thyme. We've peeled and prepared our own veg in this recipe, but if you're short of time then feel free to use pre-cut or a bag of ready-to-roast veg in its place.

Toss together the vegetables with oil, maple syrup, thyme and plenty of seasoning. Roast for 45-50min until golden and cooked through.
