Roasted Winter Squash and Parsnips with Maple Syrup Glaze and Marcona Almonds

This vibrant vegetarian side dish celebrates the natural sweetness of roasted winter squash and parsnips. By combining earthy kabocha and butternut squash with tender parsnips, you create a beautiful medley of colours and textures. The vegetables are coated in a fragrant glaze of pure maple syrup, melted butter, and fresh rosemary, which caramelises beautifully in the oven to create a rich, savoury-sweet finish.

Topped with buttery Marcona almonds for a sophisticated crunch, this dish is an ideal accompaniment to a traditional Sunday roast or a festive Christmas dinner. It is also highly practical for entertaining, as the vegetables can be prepped and tossed in their glaze a day in advance. Simply keep them chilled and bring them to room temperature before roasting to ensure a perfectly golden result every time.
