Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 210°C (190°C fan). Put a large roasting tin in the oven to heat for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Toss the carrots, parsnips and swede with the oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a big bowl.

  3. 3

    Tip them into the hot tin in a single layer, using two tins if needed so they do not steam. Add the garlic and thyme.

  4. 4

    Roast for 40 to 45 minutes, turning once halfway, until the edges are dark gold and sticky and a knife goes in easily.
