Colourful, flavour-packed and as seasonal as they come, these roasted root veg make a standout side dish for Christmas dinner, whether you’re feasting on turkey, rib of beef or a hearty nut roast. It’s easy to prepare ahead, too, keeping festive stress to a minimum. Simply glaze baby carrots and baby parsnips in olive oil, seasonings, fresh thyme and Hot Honey – celebrating the time-honoured pairing of sweetness and heat – and, when you’re ready, roast them until tender and caramelised.

  5. Drizzle glaze over vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and a final pinch of salt.
  7. Roast for 35 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and caramelised.
