Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients:

  • 400g (14oz) small potatoes (about 10), skin on
  • 2 medium-large carrots, peeled
  • 1 large parsnip (250g/8oz), peeled
  • 1 large red onion (200g/7oz), peeled
  • 5 garlic cloves, lightly smashed
  • 5 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 3 sprigs of sage
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For Garnish:

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Preparation:

1. Prepping the Vegetables:

  • Potatoes: Halve the small ones. For larger potatoes, cut into thirds or quarters.
  • Carrots: Slice diagonally into 1.2-inch (3cm) triangular chunks.
  • Parsnip: Cut into 1.5-inch (4cm) lengths, then into equally-sized batons or chunks.
  • Red Onion: Slice in half, then cut each half into 4-5 wedges, yielding ~0.8-inch (2cm) pieces.
  • Garlic: Smash with the flat side of a knife, keeping the cloves mostly intact.

2. Roasting the Vegetables:

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) or 180°C (fan-assisted).
  2. In a bowl, toss the onion with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Set aside to be added later.
  3. Combine the remaining vegetables, thyme, smashed garlic, and sage leaves in a separate bowl. Drizzle with the remaining oil, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
  4. Spread the vegetable mixture onto a large baking tray in an even layer.

3. Cooking:

  • Roast the tray of vegetables for 30 minutes.
  • Add the seasoned onions to the tray, mix gently, and return to the oven. Continue roasting for an additional hour, tossing halfway, until the vegetables are tender and golden-brown at the edges.

4. Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy while warm!
