ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC



Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Rosemary and Garlic image

Parsnips are carrots' sweeter cousins, with a rich, nutty flavor. Though they don't pack the beta-carotene that their orange relatives offer, they're a good source of vitamin C and folacin. Because the core can be woody, I always remove it; this can be a tedious task but it's worth it.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 pound parsnips, peeled
1 pound carrots, peeled
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 plump garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
3 or 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Oil a sheet pan or a baking dish large enough to fit all of the vegetables in a single layer. Cut the carrots and parsnips into 3-inch lengths. Quarter the fat lengths, and cut the thin ends into halves so that the pieces are about the same size. Cut away the cores from the parsnips. Toss with the garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary sprigs, and olive oil until all of the vegetables are coated with oil.
  • Spread in an even layer in the prepared pan or baking dish. Cover with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the heat down to 375ºF and uncover the pan. Stir gently, and continue to roast until lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots and parsnips: Look for carrots and parsnips that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller vegetables will cook more evenly and quickly.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. If you are roasting other vegetables along with the carrots and parsnips, make sure that they have similar cooking times.
  • Season the vegetables well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great options. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Toss the vegetables in oil before roasting: This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender: The carrots and parsnips should be tender when pierced with a fork. If you are using a variety of vegetables, some may cook more quickly than others. Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan as they are done.

Conclusion:

Cider-roasted carrots and parsnips are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. They are easy to make and can be roasted in the oven or on the grill. The sweet and tangy flavor of the cider pairs perfectly with the roasted vegetables, and the addition of fresh herbs adds a touch of elegance. So next time you are looking for a simple yet impressive side dish, give this recipe a try.
