Ingredients

3 tbsp unsalted butter
½ small celeriac , cut into 2cm dice
300g squash , cut into 2cm wedges
150g baby turnip , halved, or 1-2 small turnips, cut into small wedges
150g butternut squash , deseeded and cut into 2cm dice
3 carrots , cut into 2cm dice
2 parsnips , quartered, cores removed, cut into 2cm dice

Steps:

Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Melt the butter in a large heavy-based frying pan. Add all the vegetables (or do this in 2 batches if necessary rather than overcrowd the pan) and a little sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then sweat them on a medium heat for 5 mins.
Transfer the veg to a large roasting tin, pour in 150ml water, cover with foil, then roast for about 2 hrs or until meltingly tender but still holding their shape. Taste and correct the seasoning.
