  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Coarsely grind caraway seeds with salt in an electric coffee/spice grinder or possibly crush with a rolling pin. Mince garlic, then mash to a paste with salt mix using flat side of a chef's knife. Transfer paste to a large bowl and whisk in honey, lemon juice, oil, spices, and pepper.
  3. Put zucchini, turnips, bell peppers, butternut squash, and onions in an oiled large roasting pan, then add in half of spice mix and toss till well coated. Stir tomatoes and broth into vegetables. Add in hens to large bowl with remaining spice mix and toss to coat, then arrange hens, breast-sides up, over vegetables in pan.
  4. Cover pan tightly with foil and roast in middle of oven 15 min. Uncover and roast till hens are browned and vegetables are tender, 45 min more. Skim fat from cooking liquid. Sprinkle herbs on top and spoon some cooking liquid over hens.
  5. This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
