Roasted Chicken and VegetablesIngredients

1 whole chicken, rinsed, dried, with giblets removed
2 cloves garlic
1 cup olive oil
3 or 4 rosemary sprigs
1/4 cup fresh sage
3 carrots, whole
2 red onions, halved
2 lemons, sliced
3 small white onions
3 small turnips
2 medium baking potatoes
2 parsnips, cut up if large
Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Place whole chicken in a Pyrex baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, rub with oil.
  3. Add fresh herbs if using those (you can also sprinkle with dried rosemary and sage instead).
  4. One way to add herbs is to bundle them fresh and add to the chicken cavity along with garlic and some of the onion.
  5. You can either cut the veggies in large chunks, or leave them whole.
  6. Toss all with oil, salt and pepper. Arrange veggies around the chicken in the pan.
  7. Add lemon slices and disperse throughout.
  8. Bake at 350°F for about an hour and a half, or until the chicken timer pops.

Serve with rice, or with just the veggies if you’re looking to keep it low-carb.
