I don't do it often, but I believe around an hour. I do know I do it at 425.

Can you explain this? Your mean in an oven I imagine, covered, uncovered? What temp and how long? What does roasting them do? Wouldn't the juice/fats run out and burn or do you put water in the pan?

Put them on a rimmed sheet pan and roast uncovered (flip them occassionally) as described above. The flavor the roasted bones give stock is out of this world.

ETA - They're bones - there aren't juices/fats to run out and burn.

You've never eaten the roasted marrow?

No, I haven't. I'm not that adventurous - husband is, though and said it's absolutely sublime!

Then again he puts ketchup on scrambled eggs so I don't always trust him.

I definitely need to make something with them tomorrow, so I will let y'all know! I love the French Onion Soup idea except I'd have to go shopping for Gruyere and make a loaf of bread and I dont have the time tomorrow!

Make the soup, then freeze it until you get the cheese. Onion soup freezes beautifully,!

I made vegetable beef soup is time. I didn't roast the bones, but this recipe did call for browning the bones/meat first.

I used frozen mixed veggies, diced potato, cabbage, celery, onion, canned tomatoes, and barley.
