Yule Dinner

Everyone agreed that this side dish was the best, it’s been added to Vegan Christmas/Yule but is reproduced here too as it’s not just for Christmas but good anytime :)

 recipe:

8 medium parsnips (you can of course use bigger/smaller and adjust quantities)

8 medium carrots

a little sunflower oil to rub

a couple of teaspoons of maple or golden syrup

a teaspoon of rough seasalt

a handful of natural pistachios (not salted or roasted)

Peel/scrape the vegetables and cut into quarters, once lengthways and once across the middle. Rub them with oil and place in roasting tin. Drizzle syrup. Sprinkle salt and pistachios. Roast in a hot oven for about half an hour.

    I did sprouts quite similar to this… roast for 20 mins w/ olive oil drizzled on top. After 20 mins add 1 spoon maple syrup and chopped pecans and roast for a further ten mins. Even my mother in law who hates sprouts loved them and my 2 and 6 year old :o ) I shall deffo try the roasted carrots, ‘snips and pistachios though.
