1 teaspoon sichuan pepper (or dry green or black peppercorns)
1 teaspoon kalonji (black onion seeds , aka nigella)
2 star anise
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 large Spanish onions, peeled
3 large potatoes, such as Desiree, unpeeled

1 tablespoon peanut oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
FOR THE GLAZE
2 tablespoons tamari or 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon peanut oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1
Preheat the oven to 220C/Gas 7/fan oven 200u00b0C
2
Combine all the spices and salt in a small, electric spice or coffee grinder (or use a pestle and mortar), and pulverise them to a powder - ignore the bigger bits of coriander husk.
3
Tip the ground spices into a very large mixing bowl.
4
Cut the onions into sixths, leaving a little root attached to hold the layers together.
5
Cut the ordinary potatoes into six segments, length ways.
6
If the sweet potatoes are slender (they normally are) cut them into quarters, length ways; if they're bulky round the middle, cut them into sixths.
7
Put all the vegetables into the mixing bowl.
8
add the oil and toss thoroughly, using clean hands.
9
Lightly oil the large tray which comes with your oven (or 1 or 2 baking trays)
10
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer and bake them for 25 minutes.
11
Meanwhile, combine the glaze ingredients in a small jug with 4 tablespoons cold water.
12
Remove the oven tray; brush the vegetables with the glaze and continue to bake for about 20-30 minutes, or until they're slightly charred and tender.
13
A little squeeze of lime or lemon juice adds vivacity, but the vegetables are very nice with or without it.
