Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 4 medium Parsnips
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts
- 2 Tangerines
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Tangerine zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Peel and slice the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces. Halve the Brussels sprouts.
Arrange the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the vegetables roast, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, honey, ground cardamom, cinnamon, tangerine juice (from the 2 tangerines), and tangerine zest. Whisk until well blended.
After the vegetables have roasted for 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the tangerine and cardamom glaze evenly over the vegetables and toss to coat.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary over the glazed vegetables and return to the oven for an additional 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional rosemary or a sprinkle of tangerine zest, if desired.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or on its own with crusty bread.
