Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Cook the potatoes, swede and carrot in a pan of boiling water for 20 minutes, or until soft. Meanwhile, put a non-stick baking tray into the oven with 1 tbsp olive oil.

Whizz the bread in a processor, then add the parsley and the remaining oil and whizz again briefly (if you have ready-made crumbs, just chop the parsley and stir into the breadcrumbs with the oil). Sprinkle the breadcrumbs onto a plate.
