Ingredients
Scale
- 500g (1 lb) parsnips – peeled and cut into long wedges.
- 500g (1 lb) carrots – peeled and cut into similar-sized pieces.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil – for roasting the vegetables.
- 2 tablespoons honey – adds a sweet glaze.
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme – for a fragrant herbal touch.
- Salt and pepper – to taste.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for roasting.
- Prepare the vegetables: Peel the parsnips and carrots, then cut them into long, evenly-sized wedges. This helps ensure even cooking.
- Coat the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, toss the parsnips and carrots with olive oil, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper until they are well coated.
- Arrange on a baking tray: Spread the coated vegetables out in a single layer on a baking tray, making sure they have space to roast evenly.
- Roast the vegetables: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the vegetables are golden and caramelized around the edges.
- Serve immediately: Once done, remove from the oven and serve hot. These honey-roasted parsnips and carrots are best enjoyed warm.
