Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C/gas mark 7. Line a large baking tin with a silicone mat or baking parchment and place the Brussels sprouts and carrots in a single layer. Season the vegetables with half of the Savory Spice Blend and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir the vegetables and then roast for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Remove from the oven once again. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the pecans, lemon and remaining spice blend.
