- Dice the swede and carrots from the vegetable medley into 1.5cm cubes. Cut the parsnip into 4 long slices and the onion into 6 wedges.
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Boil the swede and carrots in a large pan of boiling water for 5 mins, then add the parsnip and cook for 3 mins more. Drain and steam-dry for a few mins, then spread out in a single layer on a large baking tray. Add the onion, drizzle with the oil and toss gently to coat. Nestle the beetroot among the other vegetables, then roast for 25 mins.
- Cut each sausage into 4 and add to the tray with half the thyme. Roast for 25 mins more until the sausages are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Mix the pesto with 2 tbsp cold water and drizzle over the dish. Scatter with the remaining thyme.
