To ask for your best roast tips!

[elm26]

Hi everyone

DH has been working 7 day weeks lately and he's out until 6 again today so wanted to make a lovely roast.

I haven't got any meat I can roast so will just be chicken breasts as I really cannot be bothered to battle queues at Tesco or Asda!

We've got cabbage, parsnips, carrots, Maris piper potatoes and the stuff already in to make homemade Yorkshire puds. I also have most spices, herbs etc in as we usually make homemade dinners.

I usually do a nice garlic and lemon chicken with crispy potatoes, honey parsnips and buttered cabbage.

I feel like I want to try alternatives today so please give me your best tips or recipes 😊 thank you!

Confit the parsnips! Really tasty and sweet. Basic method as here, although I used a lot less oil and they took about an hour and a half. ottolenghi.co.uk/recipes/confit-and-grilled-parsnips-with-herbs-and-vinegar

Sure you could swap the herbs too. I had coriander and chives so used them.

Cook the potatoes in coconut oil- it gives you the best and crispiest potatoes ever!

@CitronVert22 thank you they sound lovely! X

@ZellyFitzgerald thanks for the tip! Never tried this so will give it a go today! X

Honey roasted carrots.

Sausages you can use to make a sausagemeat stuffing?

I do these carrots but haven't tried the lemon juice and parsley bit www.sainsburysmagazine.co.uk/recipes/sides/vichy-style-carrots

Hard yes on parsley with carrots. It just lifts them and makes them more carroty.
