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.

CIDER-ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS



Cider-Roasted Carrots and Parsnips image

These two root vegetables blend for a side dish with enough character to hold the spotlight next to grilled or roasted meat, poultry, or fish. The hint of vinegar, Dijon, honey, and thyme will make you forget it's actually good for you. Skip-a-step by lining the vegetable roasting pan with aluminum foil. To line the pan fast, turn pan upside down and press sheet of aluminum foil around it. With aluminum foil, you can use either shiny side up or dull side up. Remove the aluminum foil. Turn over, drop foil inside. Crimp edges and you're ready to cook. After the meal there is no extra cleanup. Just toss the foil.

ROASTED PARSNIPS WITH THYME



Roasted Parsnips with Thyme image

Provided by Jerry Traunfeld

Categories     Side     Roast     Thanksgiving     Parsnip     Thyme     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds parsnips (5 to 6 medium)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Peel the parsnips and cut them into 2-inch lengths. Quarter the thickest pieces, halve the medium ones, and leave the thinnest ones whole. You want all the pieces to be about the same size. Put the butter in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the parsnips in a single layer and put the dish in the oven until the butter melts. Stir in the brown sugar and vinegar. Add the parsnips, salt, and pepper and stir to coat all the pieces evenly. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the thyme. Continue to bake until the parsnips are browned and tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right parsnips: Look for parsnips that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller parsnips tend to be more tender and flavorful.
  • Prep the parsnips properly: Peel the parsnips and cut them into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the parsnips generously: Parsnips have a naturally sweet flavor, but they can benefit from a generous seasoning of salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. Try sprinkling them with thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, or paprika.
  • Roast the parsnips at a high temperature: High heat will help to caramelize the parsnips and give them a slightly crispy exterior. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Roast the parsnips until they are tender: The parsnips are done roasting when they are easily pierced with a fork. Depending on the size of the parsnip pieces, this could take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes.
  • Serve the parsnips immediately: Roasted parsnips are best served hot out of the oven. You can enjoy them on their own, or pair them with your favorite protein or side dish.

Conclusion:

Roasted parsnips are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be roasted in a variety of ways. With their naturally sweet flavor and caramelized exterior, roasted parsnips are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
