Honey and mustard roasted turnips and carrots

Side Serves 8 45 min

This is one of our favourite ways with root veg: roasted to intensify their flavour, then accented with a glaze of honey and mustard. It's a magnificent side to a Sunday roast or eaten on its own with couscous and a scattering of feta. You could also add parsnips, swede, celeriac or beetroot to the mix.
