ingredients
- 6 -8 potatoes
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 1 leek
- olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced or
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 1⁄2 - 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- salt and pepper
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Spray 2 large roasted pans or casserole dishes with non-stick spray. .
- Wash and chop potatoes in to large bite-sized pieces (try to chop roughly the same size for even cooking). Feel free to peel the potatoes before chopping them, I did. .
- After rinsing potatoes dry very well with paper towels or a clean dish towel. .
- Divide potatoes evenly between the roasting pans. .
- Add baby carrots to both roasting pans. .
- Slice dark green parts and end of root tip off of the leeks. .
- Slice the leek vertically from light green end toward root, but leave it attached at the root. .
- Turn the leek over on its side and slice it vertically again. .
- Rinse the heck out of the leek, making sure there is no grit in between the layers. .
- Chop the leeks in to 1 inch pieces. .
- Reserve the leeks for later. .
- Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and carrots and season liberally with salt, pepper and herbs of your choice (I used dried parsley and thyme). .
- Make sure potatoes and carrots are in a single layer, if they overlap they went crisp up as well for you. .
- Place in a 400 degree oven in the top 1/3 of the oven for 30 minutes. .
- Remove the pans from the oven, add the leeks and the minced garlic and a touch more oil if necessary, and turn the potatoes and carrots and combine with the leeks and garlic. .
- Place pans back in to the oven and continue to roast for an additional 25-30 minutes until it is as cooked through and browned and crispy as you prefer. .
- *I used one metal roasting pan and one ceramic casserole pan and the potatoes and carrots browned faster and nicer in the metal pan. .
- **making sure the potatoes and vegetables are dry before adding to the pan and drizzling with oil will help them to crisp up better. .

I'm a 35 single mom of one wonderful 16 year old son who happens to be the world's pickiest eater. I'm a human resource director for a non-profit private special education school. Cooking is my #1 hobby. Ironically, I became interested in all things cullinary after I had gastric bypass surgery 7 years ago. Losing that much weight & as quickly as I did really changed my relationship with food. (I lost 128 lbs - 258 lbs before, 130 lbs now)
