Ingredients

• 4 medium Carrots
• 4 medium Parsnips
• 2 medium Sweet potatoes
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts
• 2 Tangerines
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
• 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Tangerine zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Peel and slice the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces. Halve the Brussels sprouts.

Step 3

Arrange the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

While the vegetables roast, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, honey, ground cardamom, cinnamon, tangerine juice (from the 2 tangerines), and tangerine zest. Whisk until well blended.

Step 6

After the vegetables have roasted for 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the tangerine and cardamom glaze evenly over the vegetables and toss to coat.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary over the glazed vegetables and return to the oven for an additional 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional rosemary or a sprinkle of tangerine zest, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or on its own with crusty bread.
