Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium parsnips
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Peel the parsnips and carrots, then slice them into evenly sized matchsticks or thin strips, about 3 inches long.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to sizzle.
Add the sliced parsnips and carrots to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the oil and butter.
Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and take on a light golden color.
Add the water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Let the vegetables steam for 5-6 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and stir in the honey, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the honey forms a light glaze over the vegetables and they are golden brown and glossy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Serve warm as a delightful side dish for roasted meats, poultry, or your favorite vegetarian mains.
