ROASTED CHICKEN WITH SPRING VEGETABLES AND LEMON-HONEY SAUCE
Have you ever considered roasting your chicken vertically? Your results will be tender and juicy. You can buy vertical roasting stands in a store, or you can use your angel food cake pan insert! If you decided to use this method, after roasting, make sure you clean the insert completely of all traces of fat or your next cake may not rise well. This recipe comes from Cuisine at Home.

HONEY-ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
From Cooking Light, Dec. 2007. This recipe called for tupelo honey or any other medium colored "floral" honey, such as dandelion or orange blossom. In my little town there is honey in the bear bottles, so that's what I used! And this turned out wonderful. Sweet and caramelized! Next time I will add garlic and use even more shallots, they came out so sweet. When you halve the shallots, leave a bit on the blossom end so they stay in wedges; it all cooks up. YUM!

FESTIVE HONEY-GLAZED ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH SAFFRON
Roasted parsnips, carrots and pink shallots, glazed with saffron honey and sprinkled with cumin and celery seeds......sublime! These roasted root vegetables are undoubtedly very special, and they are so easy to roast as they require NO par-boiling beforehand. A simple glaze is made by adding saffron to melted honey, before sprinkling cumin and celery seeds over the top......slam them in the oven, and pour yourself a glass of wine! I make these nearly every Christmas and for other special events throughout the year. I have experimented with other vegetables, but have found that this simple combination works the best for optimum flavour and colour, so no need to over gild the lily! Sprinkle them with chopped lovage or parsley before serving. I have indicated amounts per person and not weights....please adjust the quantities to your own requirements.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6.
- Take a large roasting tray, one that will take the vegetables in one layer, and add the olive oil to it, then heat the oil in the oven for about 5 minutes until very hot.
- Take the tray out and add the prepared vegetables immediately, tossing them around to get a good coating of oil, put them back in the oven and roast them for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat up the honey in a small saucepan or in the microwave and add the softened saffron threads or saffron powder - mix well.
- After 30 minutes, take the vegetables out and add the honey and saffron, pouring over the vegetables and turning them around to make sure that all have an even coating of the mixture.
- Sprinkle the cumin seeds, celery seeds, sea salt and black pepper to taste over the top and give them a quick mix again, before putting them back into the oven for a further 20 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft, glazed and tinged brown at the edges.
- Serve them in an attractive serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped lovage or parsley.
- I have allowed one of each vegetable per serving, this may be too generous - please adjust the quantities to suit what else you may be serving alongside these vegetables!

CAST IRON HONEY-SRIRACHA GLAZED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
I combined 3 recipes to create tender juicy chicken with an awesome honey-sriracha glaze. If you've always wanted to cook more stuff with turnips, give this a try. Aside from the delicious sauce, the most important part of this dish is using the high heat of cast iron to brown the chicken and vegetables before finishing in the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Pat chicken dry. Combine 1 tablespoon black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Rub the mixture on the chicken.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add peanut oil to the hot skillet and watch it carefully; when oil smokes, add chicken, skin-side down. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a plate; reserve drippings in the skillet.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add remaining black pepper and salt. Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Return skillet with drippings to medium-high heat. Add potatoes, carrots, onion, turnip, and garlic. Cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chicken on top of the vegetables, skin-side up. Coat with about a third of the sauce.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Add wine to the skillet and coat chicken with another third of the sauce. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Coat chicken with remaining sauce before serving.

HONEY ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 deg. Combine all ingredients except the cooking spray in a large bowl; toss to coat. Place vegetable mixture on a jello-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450 for 35 minutes or until vegetables are tender and begin to brown, stirring every 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables. Root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and potatoes are ideal for roasting, as they caramelize nicely and become tender. Other good options include bell peppers, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they will overcook and become mushy.
- Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings. This will help them brown and develop flavor. You can use olive oil, canola oil, or avocado oil. For seasonings, try salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them caramelize and brown. The ideal temperature is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetables you are roasting. For most vegetables, it will take about 20-30 minutes.
- Serve the vegetables immediately. Roasted vegetables are best enjoyed hot and fresh. You can serve them as a side dish or as a main course. They are also great for adding to salads, wraps, and sandwiches.
Conclusion:
Honey roasted vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be roasted in the oven or on the grill. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and nutritious meal on the table in no time.
