Roasty Roots Vegetable & Cheddar Cobbler
A bubbling vegetable filling topped with golden cheddar scones is comfort food at its finest. Roasty Roots Seasoning brings a traditional roast-dinner flavour to the creamy carrots, parsnips and leeks underneath.
The cobbler topping is intentionally rustic: handle it lightly and drop it on in rough mounds for crisp edges and soft, fluffy centres.
🧾 Ingredients
- 2 carrots, cut into small chunks
- 2 parsnips, cut into small chunks
- 2 leeks, thickly sliced
- 150g frozen peas
- 1½ tbsp Roasty Roots Seasoning
- 30g butter
- 30g plain flour
- 500ml vegetable stock
- 100ml milk
- For the topping: 225g self-raising flour
- 50g cold butter, cubed
- 100g mature cheddar, grated
- 125ml milk
🍴 Instructions
- Heat the oven to 190°C fan / 210°C conventional.
- Simmer the carrots and parsnips in water for 7 minutes, then drain.
- Melt 30g butter in a large ovenproof casserole. Cook the leeks for 5 minutes, then stir in the Roasty Roots Seasoning and plain flour.
- Gradually stir in the stock and 100ml milk. Add the drained roots and peas, then simmer for 5 minutes until lightly thickened.
- For the topping, rub the cold butter into the self-raising flour. Stir through 75g cheddar, then mix in enough milk to form a soft dough.
- Divide into six rough mounds and place over the filling. Scatter with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until the cobbles are risen and golden and the filling is bubbling. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

🥗 Serving Suggestions
Serve with dark leafy greens or a crisp salad. Leftovers reheat best in the oven so the cheddar topping becomes crisp again.
💛 Why This Recipe Works
Part-cooking the roots ensures they become tender beneath the topping, while rough, lightly handled dough creates fluffy cobbles with plenty of golden edges.
