Ingredients
- 2 large carrots, cut into chunks
- 1 sweet potato, cubed
- 1 parsnip, cut into chunks
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh rosemary, chopped (to taste)
- 1/2 cup jus or drippings from the cooked Iberico suckling pig
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roasting the vegetables at a high temperature ensures that they caramelize and develop a deep, rich flavor.
Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the carrots, sweet potato, and parsnip with olive oil, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary to taste. The rosemary will infuse the vegetables with a fragrant, earthy note as they roast.
Step 3
Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown. Be sure to stir the vegetables halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. While the vegetables are still warm, drizzle the jus or drippings from your cooked Iberico suckling pig over the top. The jus adds an irresistible, savory depth that perfectly complements the sweetness of the root vegetables.
Step 5
Serve these roasted root vegetables alongside your Iberico suckling pig for a complete meal that’s rich in flavor and full of seasonal goodness. The combination of tender vegetables and the deep, flavorful jus will be a hit at any dinner table.
