Ingredients

250g Essential Parsnips, cut lengthways into 4 wedges
300g Essential Carrots, cut lengthways into 4 wedges
2 Essential Red Onions, each cut into 8 wedges
1 tbsp Essential Vegetable Oil
75g Essential Greek Feta, sliced
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 Essential Orange, zest and juice
2 tsp Cooks’ Ingredients Red Chilli Paste
1 tsp Essential Pure Clear Honey
1g Essential Unsalted Butter
2 Essential White Pitta, lightly toasted

Method

Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. Put the parsnips, carrots and onions in a roasting tin and drizzle with the oil. Season, then shake the pan until the vegetables are coated. Roast for 35-40 minutes, until golden and tender. Place the feta slices on top and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
Heat a small, dry saucepan, add the cumin and toast for 30 seconds until aromatic. Stir in the orange zest and juice, chilli paste, honey and butter. Heat gently until the butter has melted, then increase the heat until the dressing is bubbling. Cook for 2-3 minutes until turning slightly syrupy.
Place the vegetables, feta and pittas on plates and serve, drizzled with the hot dressing.

Cook’s tip

This red chilli paste is a useful alternative to fresh red chillies and provides a good hit of chilli flavour in an instant. Add as much or as little as you like.
