Ingredients

non-stick cooking spray

2 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil

3 kumara, various colours, very thinly sliced

pinch of salt

1 tablespoon maple syrup

several thyme sprigs or a pinch of dried thyme

Method

1.Preheat oven to 210°C. Grease a heatproof baking dish lightly with cooking spray.

2.Rub the kumara slices gently with the garlic-infused oil and season with a pinch of salt. Gather the slices together in a stack (if using different colours, alternate them in the stack).

3.Arrange the stack to form a spiral pattern, propping in position if needed with a ball of foil, pie funnel or heatproof ramekin. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with thyme.

4.Bake for 20-25 minutes; when starting to crisp at the edges cover lightly with foil and bake for a further 10-15 minutes until tender.

This dish looks pretty with different colours of kumara or even a mixture of kumara and beetroot. A round or oval baking dish works best for maintaining the spiral pattern. PER SERVE Energy 295kcal, 1235kj • Protein 6g • Total Fat 7g • Saturated Fat 1g • Carbohydrate 47g • Fibre 9.4g • Sodium 70mg
