Here is what you will need to serve 3-4 as a side dish.

Ingredients

350g (12.3 oz) Baby Potatoes
2 – 3 Large Carrots, peeled and sliced
2 – 3 Large Parsnips, peeled and sliced
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Thyme
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Fresh Parsley, to garnish (optional)

Essential equipment

Chopping Board
Sharp Knife
Large Roasting Dish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/392ºF.

Quarter the baby potatoes (350g | 12.3 oz). They should be roughly 3cm in diameter. Then peel the carrots (2-3 large) and parsnips (2-3 large).

Slice the carrots and parsnips to roughly the same size as the potatoes. This will ensure it all cooks nice and evenly.

Then throw it all into a good quality roasting pan along with the garlic powder (1 tsp), oregano (1 tsp), thyme (1 tsp), olive oil (2 tbsp) and a generous helping of salt and pepper.

Get your hands right in and mix it all together so everything is evenly coated.

Pop it into the centre of the preheated oven and cook for 35-40 minutes until golden and soft.

I gave mine a mix half way through the cooking time just to make sure everything cooked evenly.

And that’s it! I told you it was simple didn’t I?! No mess, no fuss recipes are exactly what you need on Christmas Day to eliminate all that unnecessary stress.

This is literally a chop it, mix it, throw it in the oven kind of recipe. And only one pan to wash after? You are totally welcome my friend!
