How to Make Roast Cornish Game Hens With Vegetables
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spray a 2-quart glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- Remove and discard the neck and giblets from each game hen. Using kitchen shears, cut each hen in half lengthwise.
- Place the hen halves, skin-side up, in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon garlic salt, ½ teaspoon chili powder, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Brush the hen halves with 1 tablespoon of the spice oil mixture. Add 1 pound small red potatoes, quartered, and 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, to the remaining spice oil mixture in the bowl.
- Toss the potatoes and bell pepper to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
- Arrange the vegetables around the hen halves in the baking dish.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the hen halves are fork-tender, the juices run clear, and the vegetables are tender. Internal temperature of the hens should reach 165°F (74°C).
