Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds parsnips, peeled
1 pound carrots, unpeeled
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don't make the pieces too small. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill and serve hot.

ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH CITRUS BUTTER

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound carrots, peeled
1 pound parsnips, peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a small bowl, combine butter, orange zest, orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir well to combine. Set the citrus butter aside.
  • Peel the carrots and parsnips and cut them lengthwise into long wedges, which that will get a bit browned and crisp at the ends. If I am roasting young carrots small enough to cook whole or halved lengthwise, I like to leave a half inch or so of the greens attached-looks pretty. Parsnips will cook at about the same rate as carrots, so cut them into similar-size pieces.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss vegetables with oil; season with 1 teaspoon salt and toss again. Spread the vegetables flat and roast until tender and lightly browned (and more than lightly browned on the thinner edges), tossing halfway through, 20 to 30 minutes. If they seem to be getting too browned before tender, sprinkle them with a little water and keep roasting.
  • When vegetables are roasted, place in a warmed dish and spoon the citrus butter on, tossing them gently to melt the butter and coat the roots. Serve warm.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

2 pounds parsnips, peeled, trimmed and halved if more than 1/2-inch thick
4 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil

Chopped fresh parsley, dill, mint, basil or chervil leaves for garnish (optional)

Steps:

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.

ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS



Roasted Carrots and Parsnips image

Roasting these winter vegetables simply with olive oil and herbs brings out their natural sweetness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds carrots
1 1/2 pounds parsnips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel carrots and parsnips; halve crosswise to separate thick and narrow parts. Halve or quarter thick parts lengthwise (so pieces will be similar in size); cut both parts diagonally into 3/4-inch pieces.
  • On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss carrots and parsnips with oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
  • Roast vegetables until tender, tossing once or twice, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes (if vegetables begin to stick to the pan, sprinkle with water, and loosen with a spatula). Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Select young, tender carrots and parsnips for the best flavor and texture.
  • Scrub the vegetables thoroughly: Scrubbing removes dirt and debris from the vegetables, ensuring they are clean before roasting.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: Cutting the vegetables into uniform pieces helps them cook evenly.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings: This helps to coat the vegetables and enhance their flavor.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: Roasting the vegetables at a high temperature helps caramelize them and create a crispy exterior.
  • Make the citrus butter: While the vegetables are roasting, make the citrus butter by combining softened butter, lemon zest, orange zest, thyme, and honey. This adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the roasted vegetables.
  • Serve the roasted vegetables with the citrus butter: Once the vegetables are roasted, toss them with the citrus butter and serve immediately. The citrus butter melts over the vegetables, adding a delicious and flavorful coating.

Conclusion:

Roasted carrots and parsnips with citrus butter is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of roasted vegetables and citrus butter creates a delicious and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, this dish is sure to be a hit.
