Ingredients
  

  • 1 large swede
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or use 1 teaspoon of dried
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees (180 fan).
  • Trim the base from the swede and carefully cut the swede in half. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the skin. Lie each half face down on the board and cut into 1.5cm slices. Cut each slice into 1.5 cm dice.
  • Toss the swede with the olive oil, herbs and seasoning.
  • Spread out on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes. Turn partway to ensure the swede roasts evenly.

Notes

You can also use a flavoured olive oil (such as chilli or garlic) if you prefer, or another type of healthy oil for cooking.
Thyme can be replaced with another herb of your choice, or dried mixed herbs. If using dried herbs, you'll just need 1 teaspoon. 
Use 2 baking trays if necessary so that the swede is not crammed together.
