Roasted Roots Recipes

Steps:

• Place 2 baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Cut all the vegetables into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cut the onions through the base core to keep some of the layers in chunky pieces. Toss all the vegetables with garlic, olive oil and salt in large bowl. Season generously with pepper.
• Carefully remove the heated baking sheets from the oven, brush or drizzle with olive oil. Divide the vegetables evenly between the 2 pans, spreading them out to assure they don't steam while roasting. Roast the vegetables until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel vegetables (optional) and cut them into 1- to 2-inch chunks, put them in a baking pan and toss with the oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
• Put the vegetables in the oven and roast without stirring for 20 minutes, then check. If they look dry and are sticking to the pan, drizzle with more oil. Continue roasting, stirring or turning the vegetables once, for another 20 minutes or so. Stir in the herbs, then return the pan to the oven for another 20 to 40 minutes, until crisp. Remove from the oven. Garnish with rosemary or thyme.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 5. Tip the roots, potatoes and garlic cloves into a large roasting tin. Nestle the herbs in amongst them, then drizzle with olive oil and toss, so everything is well coated. Season and roast for 50 mins, or until all the vegetables are tender.
• Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin and blitz with the rest of the dressing ingredients. Alternatively, you can whisk these together in a small bowl. Toss the roots in the dressing, scatter over the nuts, feta and serve.

Steps:

• While the goose is roasting, tip all the vegetables into a pan of cold salted water, then bring to the boil. Boil for exactly 3 mins, then drain well. Scatter the flour over the veg in the colander, then toss well to coat.
• Ladle a good layer of goose fat into a large roasting tin, then place above the goose while it is having its final 10 mins with the foil on. When you open the oven to remove the foil from the goose, remove the tin for the veg. Carefully lay the vegetables in the hot fat, then use a fish slice to turn them until completely coated. Place the veg above the goose for the final 30 mins, turn them over, then return to the oven while the goose rests for 30 mins. Cook until golden and crisp, turning the oven up slightly at the end if needed.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Heat oil in a roasting tin on top of the stove, then throw in the vegetables and fry for 5-8 mins until they begin to brown. Place the tray in the oven for 40-50 mins, shaking pan occasionally until golden brown and soft.
• Stir the honey, pepper and a sprinkling of salt into the vegetables, then return to the oven for 5 mins to warm the honey through.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss all the veg with the oil and garlic in a large roasting tin, then roast for 40 mins until starting to soften and turn golden. Remove the tin from the oven, drizzle the veg with honey and return to the oven for 10-20 mins more until golden.
