Method

Heat the air fryer to 200°C and find the biggest tray you have that’ll fit inside it. Put the potatoes on the tray, then toss with ½ tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, turning halfway.
Meanwhile, make the gravy. Heat the butter in a medium pan over a medium heat, add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until it forms a paste and toasts a little. Stir in the garlic. Add the hot stock, a little at a time, stirring constantly to make a thick paste, then a sauce. Bring to the boil and cook for a few minutes to reduce and thicken. Stir in the soy and Worcestershire sauces, then season to taste. Pour the gravy into a bowl and set aside to cool for 10 minutes, stirring every now and then.
Add the carrot, parsnip and sprouts to the potatoes and season. Sit the pigs in blankets and rosemary sprigs on top, then cook for 15 minutes, giving everything a stir halfway through.
Meanwhile, make a glaze by stirring together the marmalade, mustard, vinegar, garlic and 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle everything on the tray with the glaze, toss to coat, then cook for a final 5 minutes until everything is crisp.
Stir the mayonnaise into the gravy, then serve alongside the traybake (or drizzle it all over).
