Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound carrots (about 4 large), peeled, cut into 3x1/4x1/4-inch sticks
1 pound large parsnips, peeled, halved lengthwise, cored, cut into 3x1/4x1/4-inch sticks
Coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 1/2 tablespoons honey (such as heather, chestnut, or wildflower)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots and parsnips. Sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and pepper. Sauté until vegetables are beginning to brown at edges, about 12 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Add butter, rosemary, and honey to vegetables. Toss over medium heat until heated through and vegetables are glazed, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with more salt and pepper, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right parsnips: Look for firm, smooth parsnips that are free of blemishes and bruises. Avoid any parsnips that are soft or have a wrinkled skin.
  • Peel the parsnips thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Roast the parsnips before adding them to the casserole: This will help them develop a slightly caramelized flavor and give the casserole a more complex flavor.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Vegetable broth or chicken broth are both good options. Avoid using water, as it will make the casserole bland.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Rosemary, thyme, and sage are all good choices. They will add a pop of flavor and freshness to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The parsnips should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make them mushy.

Conclusion:

This rosemary parsnip casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make Thanksgiving side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover parsnips, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new Thanksgiving recipe, give this rosemary parsnip casserole a try!
