Method

For the Festive Spiced Quorn Roast:

  2. Pierce the Quorn Roast and place on a baking tray. Roast for 45 minutes.
  3. Mix the maple syrup and spices in a small bowl and set to one side.
  4. After 45 minutes remove the wrapping from the Quorn Roast and discard. Brush all sides of the Quorn Roast with the festive glaze and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
  5. After 5 minutes glaze the Quorn Roast for a second time and decorate with bay leaves, star anise, cloves and rosemary. Roast for a further 5 minutes then set to one side and keep warm.

For the Roast Potatoes:

  1. Slice any larger potatoes in half. Tip onto a baking tray and spray with low calorie cooking spray, toss to evenly coat. Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan)/220°C/Gas Mark 7 (at the same time as the Quorn Roast) for 45 minutes.
  2. After 45 minutes add the rosemary sprigs to the roasting tray. Return to the oven and roast for a further 10 minutes.

For the Maple and Ginger Glazed Carrots and Parsnips:

  1. Place the prepared carrots and parsnips into a bowl. Add the maple syrup, ground ginger and mustard. Toss to evenly coat. Tip onto a baking tray in one even layer. Roast in at 200°C (fan)/220°C/Gas Mark 7 in a pre-heated oven (cook at the same time as the Quorn Roast) for 55 minutes.

For the sprouts with Quorn Crispy Bacon:

  1. Bring a pan of water to the boil. Add the sprouts and boil for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set to one side.

  3. Once cooked, pop the sprouts into a serving bowl and scatter over the crispy Quorn Bacon.
