7 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 medium leeks
  • 2 large parsnips (about 8 ounces), peeled and cut into 3-inch lengths (see note)
  • 3 large carrots (about 8 ounces), peeled and cut into 3-inch lengths
  • 2 large, outer celery stalks, trimmed and cut into 3-inch lengths
  • 6 small red or white new potatoes (about 1/2 pound), cut in half
  • 3 small yellow onions, peeled and cut in half through the core
  • 20 large cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400 F. Following the illustrations on page 80, trim the dark-green leaves from leeks and cut the whites in half lengthwise.
  2. 2
    Trim the root ends of the leeks, leaving enough of the root core intact to hold the leek halves together.
  3. 3
    Rinse the leek halves under cold water, separating the layers to rinse out any grit from between them.
  4. 4
    Toss all the vegetables together with the garlic, olive oil, and rosemary in a large bowl until the vegetables are coated with oil.
  5. 5
    Season generously with salt and pepper and toss again.
  6. 6
    Turn the vegetables into a 13 x 9inch (or equivalent-size) roasting pan and roast until they are tender and well browned, about 1 hour.
  7. 7
    Remove the pan from the oven and stir the vegetables gently several times while they roast, so they cook and brown evenly.
