Cornish Hens With Roasted Veggies

Spring is upon us, and so is our craving for seasonal food items. These delicious and juicy cornish hens are herb roasted and served with potatoes, beets and carrots to create a colorful and flavorful meal that your family and friends will enjoy.

Since cornish hens are much smaller than chickens, it has a more pronounced flavor and cooks a whole lot faster. They are are perfect to serve at a small fancy dinner or as a weeknight meal with your family.

I remember when I was little, my mom used to serve boiled cornish eggs in toothpicks during parties. I just thought they were super cute!

I bought them last week for my daughters and spent an hour peeling them. Yeah, never doing that again. But the meat is a delight to work with.

If you’re still thinking about what to cook during Easter, these Cornish Hens With Roasted Veggies would go great with a fresh salad and  a side of rice.

It’s easy to prepare and it’s one of those meals that are memorable. Once you try it and see how delicious and easy they are, you will surely want to make them again.

The herbs really elevate the flavors and aroma of this dish. I used rosemary which is fragrant and marry well with the cornish hens and the veggies as well.

My husband got me a big rosemary plant last winter, and it’s still alive, so I’m using it as much as I can before it dies.

  • 2 tbs chili powder
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • salt/pepper
  • 4 springs rosemary

  7. Put a rosemary spring inside each one.
  8. Cover the hens with foil
  9. Cut the veggies into 1-inch pieces.
  10. Place them in a separate baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
  11. Toss with your hands until each piece is evenly coated. Spread them on the baking dish in a single layer
  12. Roast the vegetables and Cornish hens at the same time. Within 15 minutes check on your vegetables, they should be close to being done. Flip them over so they don't burn on one side
