Roasted garlic vegetable mash

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Break garlic in pieces and spray with oil. Bake for 25 minutes until garlic feels soft. Meanwhile, peel and dice the remaining vegetables, keeping carrot and swede separate.

2 Place chopped carrot and swede in a large pan. Cover with cold, lightly salted water and boil for 5 minutes. Add parsnip and kumara. Continue boiling for another 15 minutes until vegetables are cooked.

3 Drain well. Add roasted garlic flesh and parsley. Season with pepper. Mash vegetables roughly or for a smoother texture use a stick blender. Serve.
