goo's Roasted Vegetables

goo popped into the Hizzy after a tragically long absence & left this recipe. Yay!

Preheat the oven to 180degC.

Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a small roasting pan and brush to cover the base.

Chop up enough root veggies to make a single layer in the pan - I use carrots, sweet potato, beetroot, parsnip, turnip and pearl onions.

Toss the veggies in the oil so they are coated.

In a small bowl, mix together 3 or 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, lots of salt and pepper (seriously, be liberal), and a good pinch of each of ground nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice.

Sprinkle the mixture over the veggies, and toss them around so they are liberally coated. When you think you have added enough of the sugar mix, add a bit more - you want it to kind of caramelise.

Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, depending on the size of your veggie pieces (larger pieces = longer cooking time).

Mmm, extra delicious with baby new potatoes roasted with rosemary and sea salt (same deal, toss them all together with olive oil and pepper in a roasting pan and in the oven for 45 minutes).
