Ingredients

  • 3 parsnips
  • 6 carrots
  • 1 bulb celery root
  • 4 potatoes
  • 5 stalks celery
  • 1 onion
  • 8 whole cloves garlic
  • About 1/2 cup olive oil (or more as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Rosemary sprigs to garnish

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Peel the parsnips, carrots, celery root and potatoes and cut them into one-inch cubes.
  • Slice the celery and onion.
  • Leave the garlic cloves whole in their skins.
  • Put the vegetables in one layer in one or two large baking dishes and toss them in the oil so they are thoroughly coated.
  • Sprinkle them with rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Bake the vegetables for an hour and a half (turning them from time to time so they brown on all sides).
  • Do not let them get too dark or they will develop a bitter taste.
  • Put the vegetables on a serving platter, correct seasoning and garnish with rosemary sprigs.
