Ingredients
Oven Roasted Root Vegetables
Peel the vegetables, halve the carrots, potatoes and parsnips lengthways and then cut into quarters. Cut the beets, turnips, celery, red onion and sweet potato into bite-sized pieces, including the white bulbs.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (approximately 400°F).
Rinse the thyme, shake dry and mix the leaves with the cumin and oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix with the vegetables in a bowl. Place the marinated vegetables in a greased baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. Place the beets on the edge, so that the rest of the vegetables do not get discolored. Occasionally turn and cover with aluminum foil. Remove the aluminum foil, drizzle the honey over the vegetables and leave for another 5 minutes to caramelize slightly. Serve immediately.

The root vegetables used in this recipe can be considered as a suggestion and the quantity and composition can be adapted to your own taste. In summer, a mixture of Mediterranean vegetables such as zucchini, tomatoes, aubergines and mushrooms also tastes very good, but then the cooking time is reduced to about 20 minutes - you can also leave out the honey.
