Roots with your roast - where do you stand?

[humbersloop]

Do you just have spuds, or do you run the whole gamut of roots? Roast with the joint, boiled, steamed or creamed?

Recipes welcome, tia

I thought we were talking footballers and hotel rooms with that title.......

Carrots, peas and the obligatory sprouts (which I love!)- steamed. I always do yorkshire puddings too.

Roast parsnip with beef; mashed swede with pork; carrots with any roast.

I roast parsnips, and potatoes. Boil carrots and other veg - we never eat sprouts (nobody likes them) I also cook potatoes Lyonnaise

[Bluestone]

Always carrots, always parsnips and swede when I can be bothered. Pots always roasted.

B00 - Sprouts are for Christmas only! :-)

Am fan of roast parsnip, onions, potatoes and carrots. Easier than boiling as no draining or mashing.

honey roast carrots and parsnips with mine, just par-steam the carrots and parsnips for about 5-10 mins, have a roasting tin/tray with a small amount of oil in it pre-heating in it in the oven then put the carrots and parsnips in it and roast for about 15-20 min, add a good drizzle of honey and some freshly ground black peeper. for the last 5 mins.

I always use whole baby carrots and parsnips.

Just seen this has been posted in 'Christmas', so ignore my sprouts comment B00!

[Bluestone]

Sound lush Dave. I usually add a bit of wholegrain mustard to my honey. Gives it a slight kick.

[humbersloop]

the honey/butter/sugar/cinnamon/pepper combo definately do it for carrots and parsnips here

roast betroot is great, never done it anything other than plain though- any ideas?

[boxtops]

OH isn't keen on root veg but I love them - always steamed these days.. Parsnips, yum.

[chaptazbru]

Christmas isn't Christmas without roast parsnips and sprouts! Also roast spuds, mashed spuds and carrots - yum, yum, yum !

[Ric.ror]

Sorry but I hate parsnips
Sprouts cooked for about three hours and then cold - I could pick at them all day

As i cook my roast in the BBQ i tend to just do roast potatoes and a selection of roast veg, Pumpkin-sweet potatoes -parsnips-onions-carrots Zucchini, what ever is available goes round the roast so it all finishes togetter then there gravy made in the pan while the meat rest, One roast diner and only one pan to wash so nice.

The Xmas sprouts are coming along just fine, been on for about 4 weeks now, hope we didn't leave it too late to put them on, time will tell.

[SpikeyBush]

Put sliced spring onions in your mashed potato. Lovely.

living in the tropics tend to only get frozen sprouts and their not a patch on lovely fresh one picked fresh after a snap frost, so tasty.
