• In a small bowl stir together spices, coarse salt, garlic, and fresh coriander. Reserve 3 tablespoons mixture in another small bowl and into remainder stir 3 tablespoons butter.
• Rinse chicken inside and out, removing any excess fat from opening of body cavity, and pat dry. Arrange chicken, breast side up, in center of roasting pan. With fingers loosen skin from breast at both ends and push half of seasoned butter under skin, spreading over breastbone to each side of breast. Massage skin from outside to spread butter evenly over breast. Put remaining seasoned butter in body cavity and with small metal or wooden skewers completely close body cavity and neck cavity. Tie drumsticks together with kitchen string and salt chicken lightly. Roast chicken in middle of oven 20 minutes.
• Scatter carrots and turnips around chicken and toss with fat in pan (if chicken is very lean, add remaining tablespoon of butter). Roast chicken and vegetables 30 minutes. Scatter zucchini around chicken and sprinkle vegetables with 2 tablespoons reserved spice mixture, tossing them. Roast chicken and vegetables 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in fleshy part of a thigh registers 170°F.

SAVORY OVEN-ROASTED TURNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450*.
• In a high-sided 13x9 in pan (I use an old metal one because I find it gives me the best caramelization on the turnips/onions), combine turnips, onions, and garlic. Spray generously with cooking spray and toss. You could also use olive oil.
• Add all seasonings. I usually start with about 2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper and then taste them each time I stir and adjust those seasonings to taste, but I am a salt-fiend : }.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and stir to allow the veggies to cook evenly. (I taste for seasoning at this point.)
• Return to oven and bake another 15 minutes. Remove and stir again. Depending on how you like your turnips and how thick you sliced them, they may be done at this point. I like mine pretty well done and with some nice caramelization so I return them to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.
