3. Lay onto a baking tray, drizzle with 1tbsp olive oil, dried mixed herbs, pinch of cracked black pepper and salt and use your hands to mix so evenly coated before spreading into a single layer. Place in the oven for 30 minutes ensuring to flip half-way through.
4. Meanwhile, lay brussels and shallots on a baking tray, drizzle with a tbsp of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. When the potatoes have 20 minutes left, place in the oven to roast.

6. Meanwhile, mix a tbsp of olive oil with a tbsp of honey, add to a pan over a medium heat, add the walnuts and fry for 3-5 mins until evenly coated, sticky and starting to colour. Remove all veg accomps from the oven.
