ROASTED POTATOES, CARROTS AND LEEKS
This is a combination of several recipes I've seen on food.com and on other sites. This can be very versatile, using whatever type of potatoes and veggies you have on hand, IMO, all veggies taste best when they are roasted. :-) You can also change or add whatever herbs and spices you prefer or happen have on hand and adjust amounts according to your taste. I used dry herbs but I'm sure fresh would be even better.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fold a 24-inch sheet of parchment paper in half, and cut out a heart shape about 3 inches larger than fish fillet. Place fillet near the fold, and place a handful of leeks next to it. Drizzle fish with wine and olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chervil.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Select firm, fresh vegetables with no blemishes. Use a variety of colors for a visually appealing dish.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the vegetables are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not cook through. If they are too thin, they may overcook and become mushy.
- Use good quality parchment paper: Parchment paper that is too thin may tear during cooking. Choose a parchment paper that is specifically designed for cooking.
- Seal the packets well: Make sure the packets are sealed tightly so that the steam cannot escape. If the packets are not sealed properly, the vegetables will not cook evenly.
- Cook the packets at the right temperature: The temperature and cooking time will vary depending on the vegetables you are using. Be sure to check the recipe for the specific instructions.
Conclusion:
Cooking vegetables in parchment paper is a healthy and flavorful way to prepare a meal. This cooking method allows the vegetables to retain their nutrients and natural flavors. Parchment paper also helps to keep the vegetables moist and prevents them from drying out. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and nutritious vegetable dish that the whole family will enjoy.
