Roasted roots

Roasted root vegetables; A recipe.

Potatoes; your favorite kind, or a mix. One ow two per person depending on size.

Carrots; same as above

Beets; one half beet per person.

Honey; 1/2 tbsp per person

Olive oil; enough to coat everything well

Fresh thyme; 1 tbsp per person

Fresh oregano; 1 tbsp per person

Chili flakes; 1 tsp per person

Salt; to taste

1: preheat the oven to 400* f

2: Dice all vegetables to roughly the size of dice, I like to leave the potatoes slightly larger, or if they're a really small type it looks great to have them just quartered.

3: toss together with honey, oil, herbs and salt.

4: spread put on a baking tray and pop into the oven.

5: bake for 20 minutes, then turn them all over and bake for another 20 minutes.

Your finished product may look like a few pieces have been burnt, that is thanks to the honey and I bet you they'll taste like cand and you'll love it. If you're adventurous try this on the barbeque, I'd you do leave them uncovered. Covering them will lead to them being steamed not roasted and you will end up with a much softer treat. With the honey you want them to really be able to Brown up nice and crisp
