Ingredients

4 carrots cut into chunks
4 small parsnips or 3 large, cut into chunks
3 red onions cut into wedges
2 red peppers deseeded and cut into chunks
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp each ground cumin paprika, cinnamon and mild chilli powder
400g can chopped tomato
2 small handfuls soft dried apricots
2 tsp honey

Method

Set your oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Spread the prepared vegetables across two baking trays, drizzle with half of the olive oil, season, and use your hands to coat them evenly. Roast for 30 mins until they are tender and starting to colour.
While the vegetables cook, fry the ground spices in the rest of the oil for 1 min until they sizzle and become fragrant. Pour in the canned tomatoes, add the apricots and honey along with one can of water. Let this simmer for 5 mins until the sauce thickens slightly and the apricots soften, then mix in the roasted vegetables and season to taste. Serve alongside couscous or jacket potatoes.
