Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Scatter the veg over a couple of baking trays, drizzle with half the oil, season, then rub the oil over the veg with your hands to coat. Roast for 30 mins until tender and beginning to brown.
  2. Meanwhile, fry the spices in the remaining oil for 1 min – they should sizzle and start to smell aromatic. Tip in the tomatoes, apricots, honey and a can of water. Simmer for 5 mins until the sauce is slightly reduced and the apricots plump, then stir in the veg and some seasoning. Serve with couscous or jacket potatoes.

Found this very boring. Spices didn't seem to stand out. Only saving grace is my love of roast parsnips, picked them out and threw rest away.

I love this recipe! I have substituted some veg for others ie aubergine for parsnips etc, and sometimes I've added chicken. It all works out lovely and such a versatile recipe. Tasty, healthy and easy to make.
Love, love, love it!

Really tasty and easy. Possibly slightly sweet (and I have a sweet tooth!) so I just served in smaller portions.

a very good recipe that went down very well even among the non vegetarians. goes very well with crusty bread or a blob of sour cream.

A brilliant dish, I made it with cous cous and it was nice and filling and flavoursome. My whole family loved it and had extras! I roasted my vegetables for longer than the given time though. Very good dish, not very hard to make, very healthy, and very filling! I will definitely make it again.

we followed the slow cooker version and basically, it didn't work. Even left over night in the slow cooker on low it's still not right! We've had to throw the whole lot :( don't attempt this in a slow cooker!

My husband pulled his face at the thought of all this veg but when I served it with a steak he soon changed his mind - this is a delicious dish and one that my husband has now requested I do again.

I have made this twice in the crockpot (slow cooker) and it's amazing BUT it's not great teh day it's cooked. Becasue the slow cooker doesn't allow the escape of any moisture the veggies are more like boiled than roasted. So what I've done both times is a huge batch (5 x the recipe) and then over the next few days put some of the cooked veggies back into the slow cooker with a piece of meat. I've done it with chicken, turkey and lamb, anything will work provided the meat has a bone. The result is an amazing dish of meat and roast veggies with the most incredible flavour and texture. it's a brilliant way to get people to eat their veggies and tons of them as these are just gorgeous.

I also omit the apricots and add some chili but that's just personal preference.

Have made this a few times, and it's quick, wholesome and very tasty. It freezes well too and you can easily substitute other vegetables or dried fruits. I sometimes add a little stock to try and reduce the sweetness, as it may be a little sweet for everyone's taste.

Surprisingly tasty! I only really made this because of the ingredients I had in. I substituted the parsnips for butternut squash. My husband doesn't like apricots but loved them in this recipe! It was so simple to make - it was just the chopping that took time.

Accidentally used too much chilli and skipped the apricots so was a bit too spicy. Made this in the slow cooker, and had to stir it very well to get the sauce mixed and it needs a bit of salt, but made a delicious lunch with couscous.

One of our favourite winter staples, so tasty and certainly helps kick start your bowel. Mostly i have served this for myself and my son, it means there is leftover and we can have another night, just as tasty, make with fresh couscous.

I really like this - it's so easy and very tasty. I vary the vegetables depending on what I've got in, so today put in carrots, squash, aubergine, courgette and peppers. I also switched the apricots for dates today - really really good and a portion for the freezer too.

Used sweet potato instead of parsnips and prunes instead of apricots. Served over couscous cooked with a lamb stock cube. Went down a real treat with my husband. Will make this one again for sure.

I put the spices on the vegetables instead (I was a bit out of it) and put sausages in there too, and never made the sauce, it was DELICIOUS. served wiath mash and spinach, eating the rest in a sandwich with hummus today. so good.
