Individual baked camemberts with roasted vegetable rosemary skewers

Ingredients

For the camemberts

• 6 mini baking camemberts
• 6 cloves of garlic, peeled
• 6 small sprigs of rosemary

For the skewers

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 6 firm woody rosemary stalks
• 12 Brussels sprouts
• 2 parsnips, cut into thick rounds
• 2 carrots, cut into thick rounds
• 12 fresh cranberries

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C.

Remove other packaging and place the camemberts back into their wooden boxes and place them on a baking tray. Score the top of each one with an x and poke a peeled clove of garlic into each one. Set aside.

Mix the oil and rosemary in a bowl.

Steam the sprouts, parsnips and carrots for a 5 minutes to soften and slightly cook through.

Using a knife, carefully sharpen one end of each rosemary stalk to a point.

Alternating, thread the part-cooked vegetables onto the rosemary skewers (it may be easier to pierce the vegetables with a metal skewer first), then brush liberally with the oil.

Place them on a baking tray and cook both the skewers and camembert for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is soft and the vegetables begin to turn crispy.

Serve each camembert with a sprig of rosemary. To eat, dip the vegetables into the melted cheese.
