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.

Categories     side-dish

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 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.

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 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.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds carrots (1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter), peeled, halved lengthwise
2 pounds parsnips (1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter), peeled, halved lengthwise
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil. Divide carrots and parsnips between prepared sheets. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, then drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over vegetables on each sheet; toss to coat.
  • Roast vegetables 10 minutes; stir. Roast vegetables 10 minutes longer, stir, and reverse sheets. Continue roasting until vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 15 minutes longer. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Tent with foil and let stand at room temperature. Rewarm uncovered in 350°F oven 10 minutes.)
  • Melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey and vinegar. Drizzle honey glaze over vegetables and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, cut the carrots and parsnips into uniform sizes.
  • Use a combination of olive oil and butter for roasting to achieve a flavorful and crispy exterior.
  • Season the vegetables generously with salt, pepper, and herbs to enhance their natural flavors.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (425°F/220°C) for a shorter duration to achieve caramelization and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • To add a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor, consider drizzling the vegetables with honey or maple syrup before roasting.
  • For a more vibrant color and enhanced flavor, consider adding a splash of citrus juice (lemon or orange) to the roasting pan.
  • Garnish the roasted vegetables with fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary) before serving for an aromatic and visually appealing presentation.

Roasted carrots and parsnips with herbs offer a simple yet delicious side dish that complements various main courses.
