leeks

🥗Healthier: scallions

💰Cheaper: onions

Scallions provide a similar mild onion flavor, while onions are more budget-friendly.

green beans

🥗Healthier: asparagus

💰Cheaper: frozen green beans

Asparagus is a healthier option, while frozen beans are often cheaper and still nutritious.

whole chicken

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken breasts

💰Cheaper: bone-in chicken thighs

Skinless breasts are leaner, while thighs are more economical and flavorful.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier, while canola oil is a more affordable cooking oil.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Clean and prepare the leeks by trimming the roots and cutting them in half lengthwise.

Wash the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt, then slice them into 1-inch pieces.

In a large roasting pan, toss the leeks, green beans, carrots, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Place the whole chicken in the center of the roasting pan, rubbing it with olive oil and seasoning generously with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.

Stuff the cavity of the chicken with garlic cloves and lemon halves.

Arrange bay leaves around the chicken in the pan.

Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is golden brown and the juices run clear when pierced.

Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking to keep it moist.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables and pan juices drizzled on top.
