Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Rabbit

    Rinse the whole rabbit under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place it in a large roasting pan.

  3. 3

    Season the Rabbit

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the rabbit, ensuring it gets into all the crevices.

  4. 4

    Add Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the seasoned rabbit and rub it in well.

Glazing

  1. 5

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.

  2. 6

    Apply the Glaze

    Brush half of the glaze over the rabbit, making sure to cover it evenly.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the carrots, potatoes, and onions into even-sized pieces.

  2. 8

    Arrange the Vegetables

    Place the chopped vegetables around the rabbit in the roasting pan.

  3. 9

    Roast the Rabbit

    Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour.

  4. 10

    Baste with Remaining Glaze

    After 30 minutes, baste the rabbit with the remaining glaze and continue roasting until the internal temperature of the rabbit reaches 160°F (70°C).

  5. 11

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the rabbit from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve with the roasted vegetables.
