Recipe
Roast chicken + roots batch
Sunday batch roast for the week's lunches.
Ingredients
- Chicken thighs — 1 lb 7 oz (4–6)
- Carrot — 4¼ oz (2)
- Parsnip — 8½ oz (2)
- Herbs
- Garlic-infused olive oil — 2 Tbsp
- Sea salt
Method
- Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the chunked roots with half the oil, herbs and salt.
- Roast the chicken skin-up over the roots 40–50 minutes to 175°F (79°C).
- Rest; cool and store the extras.
Notes
Same batch idea as the Sunday roast, shorter ingredient list — useful when you don't have the full veg drawer stocked.
