Ingredients
- unsalted butter 500g
- cumin seeds 1 tsp
- coriander seeds 2 tsp
- ground turmeric 1 tsp
- ginger 2cm piece, finely grated
- honey 1 tbsp
- sea salt
- parsnips 300g, halved or quartered lengthways

Method
-
Step 1
Put the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan on a low heat. Heat for 10-15 minutes until the solids on the bottom of the pan start to become a deeper golden brown and the liquid becomes clearer and golden.
-
Step 2
Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little. Pour through a fine metal sieve into a bowl, leaving the solids behind in the pan, then pour into a jar or airtight storage container.
-
Step 3
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Mix 100ml of ghee, the cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, honey and 1 tsp of salt.
-
Step 4
Put the vegetables in a large roasting tray, pour over the spiced ghee and mix well. Cover tightly with foil and roast for 20 minutes.
-
Step 5
Remove the foil and roast for another 25 minutes or until the veg are cooked and slightly caramelised.
-
Step 6
Finish with chopped coriander and a blob of yogurt, if you like.
