      1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) / 350°F / Gas Mark 4.
      2. Step 2: Place the peeled and prepared carrots and beetroots into a large mixing bowl.
      3. Step 3: Add the juice of 1 lemon, the hot honey, olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 10 finely diced sage leaves. Toss well to coat evenly.
      4. Step 4: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
      5. Step 5: Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 1½ hours, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking.

      7. Step 7: Meanwhile, heat a small pan with about 5cm (2 inches) of neutral-flavoured oil to 160°C (320°F).
      8. Step 8: Fry the remaining sage leaves in the hot oil for 1–2 minutes, or until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season lightly with salt while warm.
      9. Step 9: Once the vegetables and pumpkin seeds are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
      10. Step 10: To serve, arrange the roasted vegetables and toasted pumpkin seeds on a serving platter.
      11. Step 11: Garnish with the crispy fried sage leaves and serve immediately.
