Jamie Oliver'S Roast Potatoes, Parsnips, And Carrots - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs potatoes
6 parsnips
6 carrots
1 bulb of garlic
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Heat oven to 400\u00b0.
Peel the vegetables and halve any larger ones lengthways. Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled, and bash them slightly with the palm of your hand. Pick the rosemary leaves from the woody stalks.
Put the potatoes and carrots into a large pan - you may need to use two - of salted, boiling water on a high heat and bring back to the boil.
Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then add the parsnips and cook for another 4 minutes.
Drain in a colander and allow to steam dry. Take out the carrots and parsnips and put to one side.
Fluff up the potatoes in the colander by shaking it around a little - it's important to 'chuff them up' like this if you want them to have all those lovely crispy bits when they're cooked.
Add the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary leaves.
Put the vegetables into the tray with a good pinch of salt and pepper and stir them around to coat them in the flavours.
Spread them out evenly into one layer - this is important, as you want them to roast, not steam as they will if you have them all on top of each other
Cook for approximately 40 minutes or until the vegetables become browned and crispy.
