  • 25 Minutes
  • Makes 6

Rainbow carrots grow in beautiful colours, such as red, orange, yellow, purple and white. The taste of each colour differs by variety, but there isn't a drastic flavour contrast between them. Some varieties have a sweet and spicy taste to them, while others are sweeter than orange carrots.

This vegan dish celebrates these autumnal ingredients in a delicious way. Serve with some seasonal green vegetables or a green salad to add even more colour.

400g Rainbow carrots – trimmed and sliced at an angle into discs

2 Parsnips – peeled, cut into chunky wedges (300g)

1 tablespoon Rapeseed oil 2 red onions – peeled and sliced
