Coriander and Cumin Roasted Root Vegetables.

I love the root vegetables in winter and I must have parsnips, in one form or another with every roast dinner. Carrots are a staple too, but I find that boiled or steamed carrots can be bland. However, if you stop boiling and start roasting these vegetables, it brings out their delectable earthy sweetness. 

This is one of those recipes that has developed over time. I went to a friends house many years ago and was served carrots and parsnips roasted in maple syrup so I started to make them myself. Years later I started to use a recipe of carrots stir fried with cumin and honey. Yes, you've guessed it, I liked both recipes so much I just mashed them up together!

I'm not going to pretend that these Coriander and Cumin Roasted Root Vegetables are difficult to make. The fact that they are so simple means that they are perfect for any of your Christmas or holiday dinners. When there are so many other elements that take your time, this dish is very forgiving. If you are short on oven space it is happy sit covered in foil until everything is ready.

For this dish you do need carrots and parsnips that are fairly uniform width. If you use the really skinny parsnips they will break up. I cut each carrot and parsnip in half then I cut each piece lengthways then quarterways. Put them in an ovenproof dish with oil, butter and seasoning and cover with foil. Roast for 40 minutes at 180C.

 Go one step further and add the sweetness of maple syrup. Then you may as well add some spice with coriander and cumin.
