Notes

Nutritional information is approximate, per serving (based on 4 servings) and will differ depending on the exact amounts and types of ingredients used and so it should be treated as a rough guideline only.
Roasted swede can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
It can be reheated in the oven at 180°C/350°F until warmed through and crisped up or for a few minutes on a "reheat" function in the air fryer. I tend to set it for 3 minutes and add more time if required.
I wouldn't recommend freezing.
