Roasted Root Vegetables
- 2 pcs carrots(peeled and chopped)
- 2 pcs parsnips(peeled and chopped)

- 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
Prepare the Vegetarian Haggis
- In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms to the pan. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked lentils, toasted walnuts, oatmeal, vegetable broth, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the mixture has thickened, about 10-15 minutes. It should be a cohesive, mashable consistency.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Shape the mixture into a traditional haggis form or into individual patties.
Roast the Root Vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a large bowl, toss the chopped carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and red onion wedges with 3 tbsp olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, turning halfway through.
Bake the Haggis (Optional but Recommended)
- While the vegetables are roasting, you can bake the shaped haggis. Place the haggis form on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the same oven with the vegetables for the last 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Tips
- Ensure lentils are cooked until tender but not mushy for the best haggis texture.
- Roast the root vegetables until they are tender and nicely caramelized for maximum sweetness.
- Serve the vegetarian haggis hot with the roasted root vegetables, traditionally with mashed neeps and tatties.
