Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 500 grams parsnips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then slice them into evenly sized sticks or chunks (about 2-3 inches long). This will ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, fresh thyme leaves, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 4
Add the sliced carrots and parsnips to the bowl, tossing them thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the marinade.
Step 5
Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast rather than steam.
Step 6
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and have developed a golden caramelized color.
Step 7
Remove the roasted carrots and parsnips from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 8
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
