Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 4 medium parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then cut them into uniform sticks, about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, dried thyme, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the carrot and parsnip sticks to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the mixture.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for proper caramelization.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown at the edges.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or pair with your favorite protein for a wholesome meal.
