“Eat food from the ground, the sea and the sky – and less from the factories.” - Nadia Lim

We love this quote from Nadia Lim, a favourite among the Honey Love NZ team. It can be easy to forget that honey is a perfect addition to savoury recipes too, so we wanted to highlight a recipe we adore by Nadia, her honey-roasted root vegetables. Prepare for your mouth to water just reading the ingredients!

I N G R E D I E N T S :

• 250g beetroot, peeled and cut into 2cm wedges

• 250g baby carrots, trimmed (or large carrots cut into 2cm batons)

• 300g orange kumara, scrubbed, cut into 3-4cm chunks

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 3 sprigs rosemary, leaves only

• 2 tbsp honey (we recommend using our Ginger honey)

• 3 tsp balsamic vinegar

• 1 tsp flaky sea salt

M E T H O D :

1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

2. Arrange vegetables on the tray in a single layer, keeping the different types separate.

3. Drizzle with olive oil and scatter over rosemary.

4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning once during cooking, until starting to caramelise.

5. Meanwhile whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar and a good grind of black pepper in a small bowl.

6. Drizzle mixture over cooked vegetables and toss gently to coat.

7. Scatter over salt and return to oven for 5 minutes until vegetables are cooked through and sticky and caramelised around the edges.
