INGREDIENTS
1 piece Duck Leg (~150g)
1 medium Carrot
1 small Parsnip
1 small Sweet Potato (approx. 100g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
50 grams Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Mixed Fresh Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Season the duck leg generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of mixed fresh herbs. In a slow cooker, place the seasoned duck leg and cook on low for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender.
Meanwhile, peel and cut the carrot, parsnip, and sweet potato into evenly sized sticks or chunks.
Toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, lemon juice, remaining fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and lightly caramelized.
For added crispiness, once the duck leg is tender from the slow cooker, transfer it to a hot skillet skin-side down for 2-3 minutes.
Plate the crispy duck leg alongside the roasted root vegetables and serve with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt on the side for a cool, tangy contrast.
