Instructions

Prepare the Bones: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the bones on a baking sheet and roast for about 45 minutes, until browned.
Cook the Broth: In a large stockpot, combine the roasted bones, vegetables, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and parsley. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the ingredients.
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, partially covered, for at least 8 hours (or up to 24 hours) to extract flavors and nutrients.
Strain and Store: Once the broth is done, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the solids. Let the broth cool, then store it in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for later use.

Notes

You can customize your bone broth by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for additional flavor.
For a richer broth, you can roast the vegetables along with the bones before simmering.
Skim off any foam that rises to the surface while simmering to ensure a clear broth.
