Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, cinnamon, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir to create a spice mixture.
Add the carrot and parsnip sticks to the bowl, tossing them until evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the vegetables out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30β35 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving for a vibrant garnish.
