Honey Baked Kūmara

Juice of half an orange, about 2-3 tbsp

Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180C).

Cut the kūmara into 5cm rounds or similar sized chunks - I used a combination of orange and purple kūmara.

Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes then drain well.

Meanwhile, combine the butter, honey, orange juice and remaining salt in a small saucepan and simmer for 1 minute.

Arrange the kūmara in a single layer in a baking dish. Drizzle over with the honey caramel. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.

Remove the tray from the oven and tip the dish to scoop up the caramel and baste the kūmara. Bake for another 10 minutes and repeat the basting.

Bake for a further 10-15 minutes until the kūmara are tender and golden around the edges with a thick caramel in the base of the dish. Serve.
