Notes

  • This recipe takes about 2 hours from start to finish
  • Use the spices that come with your corned beef.
  • Roast veggies (with olive oil, salt & pepper) for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees if you don't like these veggies steamed.
  • Cook vegetables separately or they'll get too mushy if you cook them with the corned beef.
