ROSEMARY ROASTED POTATOES AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C/Gas mark 4).
• Put the potatoes, sweet potatoes and parsnips into a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes and then drain in a colander. (If you are preparing ahead of time, you can now set the vegetables aside, or keep them in the fridge until you are ready to roast.)
• Pour the vegetable oil into a large roasting pan and heat it in the oven for 5 minutes. Add the vegetables to the hot oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and add the rosemary sprigs. Carefully toss again.
• Pop the vegetables in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Turn the vegetables and add the garlic, then roast until the vegetables are crispy and golden on the outside, about 30 minutes more.

SAVORY ROAST PORK WITH APPLES AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Spray a crock pot with cooking spray or line with a crock pot liner for easy clean up.
• Place prepared apples and parsnips in the bottom of the crock pot and top with onion quarters. You can use your fingers to separate the onion quarters into smaller pieces if you like.
• Combine the brown sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder and salt and pepper in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed. Rub mixture into the roast making sure to get the mixture on all sides.
• Place roast in crock pot on top of the onion layer. Pour apple cider over the roast and sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon on top.
• Turn crock pot to low and cook for 10 to 12 hours.
• To serve, remove roast and allow to rest for a few minutes. Slice into serving sized pieces and place on a platter. Place apples, onions and parsnips around the roast.
• Strain the juices remaining in the crock pot into a medium sauce pan and place pan over medium heat. Add cornstarch to a bowl or small container with a tight lid and add 1/4 cup cold water. Stir or shake well until no clumps remain. Pour mixture into saucepan containing hot juices and whisk over medium heat until desired consistency is reached.
• Pour thickened juices into a gravy boat or other serving container and serve alongside platter of roast.
