A great side dish, these roasted parsnips and carrots are both sweet and savory.
Roasted Parsnips and Carrots
![Bowl of golden, tender carrot and parsnip sticks.](/sites/foodhero-prod/files/recipe-imgs/Parsnips%20and%20Carrots_DSC1729.jpg)
Ingredients
¾ pound parsnips, peeled if needed
¾ pound carrots, peeled
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Rinse or scrub fresh vegetables under running water before preparing.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the parsnips and carrots into uniform pieces such as 3 x ½-inch sticks or 1-inch thick slices.
- Place cut parsnips and carrots into a large bowl. Add the vegetable oil and stir to coat the carrots and parsnips.
- Add the salt, garlic powder and black pepper and stir until the vegetables are well coated with seasonings.
- Place vegetables in a single layer on large baking sheet being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Lining the baking sheet with foil or baking parchment will help with clean-up.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring the vegetables half way through the time. The carrots and parsnips should be caramelized to a medium brown and blistered.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- Try adding other seasonings such as thyme, onion powder or paprika (any type).
- No parsnips? Use more carrots instead.
- Enjoy with your favorite dip, such as Savory Yogurt Dip or Banana Ginger Sauce.
