My roasted carrots and parsnips are such a basic aspect dish, and for good purpose! The oven transforms them, intensifying their taste, caramelizing the sugars, and browning the outsides with little or no effort from you!
I grew up with this dish. My Mother (who’s from the UK) made roasted carrots and parsnips at the very least as soon as each week, and I’m so joyful that she did! Roasting will eternally be my favourite method to make greens even higher. This occurs with our favourite roasted carrots recipe, and it occurs with this recipe, which provides parsnips to the get together.
In case you are unfamiliar with parsnips, they’re between a carrot and a potato (candy like carrots and creamy like a potato). I really like them! We additionally use them to make creamy parsnip puree, which I believe rivals mashed potatoes any day.
Key Components

- Parsnips: Typically offered close to different root greens, parsnips appear like white carrots. Search for agency, clean, and evenly coloured parsnips with no delicate spots. Just like the carrots, you possibly can scrub them clear after which skip peeling or peel them.
- Oil, Salt, and Pepper: I really like avocado oil or olive oil. Then, I merely season the carrots and parsnips with salt and pepper. You may swap for my favourite seasoned salt, or use an herb mix like Herbes de Provence.
- Recent Mint: When I’ve it available, I really like tossing the nice and cozy roasted veggies with chopped contemporary mint. Different herbs are beautiful too! You may even make a herbed butter like I do for my buttery roasted carrots.
