Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 4 parsnips, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the carrots and parsnips, then cut them into uniform sticks or batons.
  3. Place the vegetables on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and honey.
  4. Season with salt and black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
  5. Roast in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  6. Garnish with fresh thyme before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup or agave nectar as a vegan substitute for honey.
  • For extra flavor, add cumin, cinnamon, or garlic.
  • Red onions or sweet potatoes can be added for variety.
  • Toasted nuts like pecans or walnuts add crunch.
  • Best texture is maintained when reheated in the oven instead of the microwave.
