(Makes 6 servings)

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine carrots and parsnips in large roasting tin and drizzle with olive oil. Scatter over cumin seeds, season with salt and pepper and toss everything together to coat evenly. Roast in oven for 40–45 minutes, tossing occasionally in oil during cooking, until tender and golden.

In the meantime, heat apricot jam and lemon juice for a few minutes in small saucepan, stirring until you have smooth, runny sauce. Pour this over carrots and parsnips for the last 10 minutes of cooking, tossing vegetables in sauce to coat evenly. Sprinkle with coriander just before serving.
