Preheat the oven to 200°C. Clean and pat the pheasant dry with paper towels.
Season the pheasant with salt and pepper. Insert garlic cloves and thyme sprigs into the cavity.
Wrap the pheasant with pancetta slices, covering it completely.
In a large roasting pan, add the chopped carrots and parsnips. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the pancetta-wrapped pheasant on top of the vegetables. Pour chicken stock into the pan.
Roast the pheasant in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
Check that the pheasant is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Serve the roast pheasant with the roasted vegetables and spoon over the pan juices.
