Roasted swede with maple syrup

Side Serves 4 55 min

Roasting swede is a good way of intensifying its flavour, and maple syrup points up its lovely sweetness. Serve this with cooked gammon ham or ham hock, thick slices of bacon, or with roast meat. You could sprinkle on a little smoked paprika before putting it in the oven to add more of an edge .
