Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 3 cups cubed sweet potatoes, 2 cups sliced parsnips, and 2 cups chopped carrots with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes until they start to brown and soften.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, pat dry 8 kangaroo medallions and brush both sides with 2 tbsp olive oil. Season evenly with 2 tsp ground wattleseed, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: After the vegetables have roasted 20 minutes, remove the pan, nestle the seasoned medallions between the vegetables, and return to the oven. Roast for an additional 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to your preferred doneness.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let the medallions rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the roasted vegetables for a smoky, earthy meal.
