Cooking steps
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Cook the potatoes in the boiling water until fork tender, 12-18 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
- Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, trim the parsnip then halve lengthways (peeling optional). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons. Trim and halve the carrots lengthways.
- Peel and quarter the shallot. Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- Quarter the lemon.
- Mix yoghurt, tahini, lemon juice to taste (1tsp at a time), salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil together in a small bowl.
- Pop the carrots, parsnip, chickpeas and shallot onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Toss with the Middle Eastern spice, salt, pepper and a good drizzle of oil.
- Spread out in a single layer. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
- Once the veg is cooked, toss with the honey, half the balsamic glaze and a knob of butter.
Tip: Use two separate trays if required.
- Divide the mash between plates.
- Top with the roasted chickpeas and veg. Drizzle over the lemony tahini.
- Scatter over sliced scallion and serve remaining lemon wedges alongside.
- Finish with a drizzle of the remaining balsamic glaze.
