No Christmas dining table would be complete with the colours, smells and flavours of delicious carrots and parsnips, drenched in honey and sprinkled with thyme. You can do all the prep on Christmas Eve, leaving just 15 minutes left to finish cooking the dish, meaning less time to factor in into your tight schedule and less oven space required when you need it the most! Of course, this isn’t just a dish that’s for Christmas. It’s ideal for any roast dinner too!

Make sure they don’t start to burn on the edges.  I turn to these for convenience at Christmas, and while I wouldn’t usually recommend single-use kitchenware, disposable foil trays just make life so much easier for once!
