Step 1
Preheat oven to 200C/390F (standard) / 180C/350F (fan / convection).
Step 2
Mix Spice Mix in a small bowl.
Step 3
Place Rice ingredients in a baking dish (including the carrots), about 23 x 30 cm / 9 x 13". Add 1 1/2 tsp Spice Mix. Stir, cover with foil, bake for 20 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, place Roasting Vegetable ingredients in a large bowl, drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle over remaining Spice Mix. Mix well - hands are best for this.
Step 5
Remove rice from oven.
Step 6
Turn oven UP to 220C/430F (standard) / 200C/390F (fan / convection).
Step 7
Take off foil. Spread the Roasting Vegetables on top of the rice. Make sure there's a bit of each type of vegetable on the surface. Push corn mostly under.
Step 8
Drizzle with more oil (optional), sprinkle with more pepper.
Step 9
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, rest for 5 - 10 minutes.
Step 10
Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Push vegetables aside, fluff rice and toss it through the vegetables a bit (rice gets more flavour). Serve!
