Roasted Potatoes, Carrots And Leeks

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Spray 2 large roasted pans or casserole dishes with non-stick spray. .
  3. 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. .
  4. After rinsing potatoes dry very well with paper towels or a clean dish towel. .
  5. Divide potatoes evenly between the roasting pans. .
  6. Add baby carrots to both roasting pans. .
  7. Slice dark green parts and end of root tip off of the leeks. .
  8. Slice the leek vertically from light green end toward root, but leave it attached at the root. .
  9. Turn the leek over on its side and slice it vertically again. .
  10. Rinse the heck out of the leek, making sure there is no grit in between the layers. .
  11. Chop the leeks in to 1 inch pieces. .
  12. Reserve the leeks for later. .
  13. 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). .
  14. Make sure potatoes and carrots are in a single layer, if they overlap they went crisp up as well for you. .
  15. Place in a 400 degree oven in the top 1/3 of the oven for 30 minutes. .
  16. 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. .
  17. 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. .
  18. *I used one metal roasting pan and one ceramic casserole pan and the potatoes and carrots browned faster and nicer in the metal pan. .
  19. **making sure the potatoes and vegetables are dry before adding to the pan and drizzling with oil will help them to crisp up better. .
