Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Slice the carrots and parsnips lengthways in half (or quarter, if large). Chop the beetroot and celeriac into evenly sized chunks or wedges. Arrange in a roasting tin.
Drizzle the veg with the oil and scatter over the cumin and thyme. Season well and toss to coat. Nestle the garlic halves in the tin, cut-sides up. Roast for 35 minutes, turning occasionally, until the veg is softened.
Meanwhile, in a jug, mix the maple syrup with the mustard. Remove the roots from the oven and drizzle over the maple mixture. Toss to coat, then return to the oven for 10-15 minutes more, until golden.
