Roasting your vegetables in the oven is simple and delicious way of preparing veg. Pour a bit of olive oil onto a baking tray and add whole cloves of garlic, onions (quartered), whole parsnips, slices of pumpkins and an other veg. Drizzle a bit more oil over them, spinkle with sae salt and prpper and stick in the oven for about an hour or so on gas mark 6/7. Maybe a bit longer if your vegetable are in big chunks. Just test them; they should be soft and caramelised round the edges.

Your spelling (or typing ) is appalling!!!

Anyway - whole parsnips? Only if they're fairly small. I'd halve them (lengthways), at least. If they're really big, into quarters.

Oh goodness - you're right - bad case of thinking in English and typing in Serbo-Croat there. And yes, I agree with halving parsnips. Chunks of potatoes are good too, with rosemary. And sweet potatoes.

Actually, it's not Sam's fault - he drools when he thinks of food and his keyboard's a bit slippery.

Euwwww...

If you want to get crispier roasted veg, try using goose or duck fat rather than olive/vegetable oil.

That sounds fabulous.

You see that's what happens when I leave the office for five mins... chaos reigns.

And what's wrong with choas? Bearing in mind that I'm a Mathematician...

If you add a topping of breadcrumbs and grated cheese (any sort, but Stilton's heavenly here) to the above, it's fantastic!
