Roasted Carrot, Parsnip, and Potato Coins

These roasted carrot, parsnip and potato coins offer a fragrant twist on classic winter root vegetables. By slicing the vegetables into uniform discs and tossing them in a warming blend of ground coriander and cardamom, you create a dish that is as visually appealing as it is flavourful. The high heat of the oven ensures the edges become beautifully caramelised and crisp, while the centres remain tender and sweet.

This simple vegan side dish is an excellent accompaniment to a traditional Sunday roast or a festive plant-based centrepiece. Using a food processor makes the preparation incredibly quick, ensuring even cooking across all the vegetables. For the best results, serve them piping hot from the oven, though they can easily be prepared ahead of time if you are hosting a busy dinner party.
