2
medium kumara peeled and cut into chunks
2
onions peeled and sliced
1
heaped tbsp grated fresh ginger (buy a piece and put it in the freezer; use
when needed; grate frozen)
2
cloves garlic
2
tsp fresh hard herb leaves (thyme, sage, rosemary, oregano) or use 1 tsp dried
1
tsp smoked paprika
400g

300ml
oat milk (or soy)
500ml
vegetable stock (or make up to with boiling water and veg stock cube)
1 tbsp
chopped parsley or snipped chives
Preheat oven
to 180C. Place kumara, onions, ginger, garlic, herbs, smoked paprika and olive
oil in roasting dish and mix thoroughly. Roast 25-30 mins, stirring 2 or 3
times until onions begin to caramelise and kumara is soft.
