Roasting the Vegetables
- Peel and cut the vegetables into similar size and shaped chunks, and add them into the bowl with honey glaze.
- Stir well until all the carrots and parsnips are covered with the honey glaze.
- Nicely arrange the vegetables in a baking tray on a single layer.
- Place them in preheated oven and bake for 40 - 45 minutes, until they are nicely caramelized and tender.
- Garnish with chopped herbs and serve warm along with your favorite roast dishes.
Notes
- Cut the carrots and parsnips into similar size and shaped chunks. This will give you evenly cooked vegetables.
- Use a tray large enough to fit the vegetables in one layer without overcrowding it to ensure nicely caramelized and evenly cooked vegetables.
- Replace the honey with maple syrup if you want to make this side dish vegan-friendly.
- The leftover honey-roasted parsnips and carrots would keep for up to five days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
- You can peel and cut the vegetables a day before and keep them refrigerated in an airtight container.
- Also, you can prepare the honey glazing up to 2 days in advance and keep it refrigerated in a jar or a container.
