3 small red onions, quartered
2 large beetroot, peeled and cut into eigths
800 g pumpkin, peeled and cut into chunks
4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunky rounds
2 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunky batons, or 4-5 Jerusalem artichokes
5-6 handfuls of baby spinach, or rocket
1 clove garlic, mashed to a paste with 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup plain yoghurt, thinned with a little water if desired

Method
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 180°C fanbake.
Line 2 large roasting dishes with baking paper for easy clean-up.
STEP 2
Quarter the onions.
Peel the beetroot and cut into eighths.
Peel the pumpkin and cut into chunks.
Peel the carrots and cut into chunky rounds.
Peel the parsnips and cut into chunky batons.
Mash the garlic to a paste with 1/2 tsp salt.
STEP 3
In a large bowl combine oil, smoked paprika, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
Add the onions, beetroot, pumpkin, carrots and parsnips or jerusalem artichokes and toss to coat evenly.
Divide between roasting dishes, spread out in a single layer and roast until tender and lightly caramelised (45-50 minutes).
STEP 4
Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes, then add spinach or rocket and toss gently.
Stir garlic paste into yoghurt.
Pile veges onto a serving platter, drizzle with yoghurt dressing and sprinkle with dukkah.
NOTE
Try to chop the vegetables into the roughly the same size chunks for uniform cooking.
You can use 4-5 jersusalem artichokes in place of the parsnips if desired.
You can use rocket in place of spinach if desired.
Thin the yoghurt down with a little water if you would like it to be a little less thick.
