Instructions
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
Put the carrots, parsnips, and onion in a deep baking or casserole dish with a drizzle of oil. Season well and roast for 20 mins.
Tightly Wrap the Welsh Dragon Sausages in smoked bacon.
Add the pigs in blankets and roast for a further 10-15 mins or until the bacon begins to crisp a little.

Swirl through the cream, if using, and scatter over the chopped herbs. Serve with mashed potatoes or leftover roasties.
