Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel and trim the carrots and parsnips. Cut them into evenly-sized sticks, roughly 2-3 inches long and about 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
Add the carrot and parsnip sticks to the bowl and toss them in the glaze until well coated.
Spread the glazed vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. They should be tender and caramelized when done.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, hearty stews, or vegetarian mains.
