Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 4 medium Parsnips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then cut them into evenly sized sticks, approximately 3-4 inches in length.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to sizzle.
Add the carrots and parsnips to the skillet and toss to coat them in the butter and oil mixture.
Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the vegetables and stir to distribute evenly.
Pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the vegetables steam for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become tender.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Stir in the honey and thyme leaves, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are caramelized and glossy with the honey glaze.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the vegetables to a serving dish. Serve immediately.
