Duck Confit with Roasted Root Vegetables
Slow-roasted duck legs seared to a shatteringly crispy finish, served over a medley of tender, caramelized root vegetables and fresh thyme.
INGREDIENTS
2 whole duck legs
1 cup carrots
0.5 cup parsnips
2 cloves garlic
2 sprigs fresh thyme
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and chop the carrots and parsnips into one-inch chunks, then toss them on the baking sheet with minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are tender and the edges are beautifully caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, place the duck legs skin-side down in a cold cast-iron skillet.
Turn the heat to medium and cook for 8-10 minutes without flipping, allowing the fat to render out and the skin to become deeply golden and crispy.
Flip the duck legs for just 30 seconds to warm the meat through, then serve immediately over the roasted roots with a garnish of fresh thyme.
