INGREDIENTS
1 duck leg (150g)
1 cup chopped carrots (122g)
1 medium parsnip (100g)
2 tsp olive oil
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
Pat the duck leg dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and a couple of thyme sprigs.
Place the duck leg on a roasting pan skin side up. Roast slowly in the oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until the skin is crisp and the meat is tender.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Toss chopped carrots and parsnip slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and additional thyme if desired.
About 30 minutes before the duck is done, spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven. Stir them once halfway through for even cooking.
Once the duck leg is crispy and fully cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the roasted root vegetables.
