Hasselback miso roasted vegetables

Method

1. Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Using a sharp knife, make several cuts 2mm apart, cutting roughly two thirds of the way through each of the root veg.
2. Pour the oil into a roasting tin and heat in the oven for 5 minutes. Add the vegetables, season with salt and pepper and roast for 10 minutes. Slice 1 orange, add to the tin, then continue to roast for 25-30 minutes, turning and basting halfway through.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the miso paste, maple syrup, chilli flakes (if using) and star anise with the finely grated zest and juice of the remaining orange. Pour the mixture over the cooked veg and roast for a further 10 minutes until crisp and sticky.
4. Heat the lentils according to the pack instructions. Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven, then stir in the hot lentils, chopped nuts and spinach until the spinach just wilts. Serve right away.
