Roasted Carrots and Parsnips
May 21, 2025 02:03 PM
My roasted carrots and parsnips are such a classic side dish, and for good reason! The oven transforms them, intensifying their flavor, caramelizing the sugars, and browning the outsides with very little effort from you!
I grew up with this dish. My Mom made roasted carrots and parsnips at least once every week, and I am so happy that she did! Roasting will forever be my favorite way to make vegetables even better. This happens with our favorite roasted carrots recipe, and it happens with this recipe, which adds parsnips to the party.
If you are unfamiliar with parsnips, they are between a carrot and a potato (sweet like carrots and creamy like a potato). I love them! We also use them to make creamy parsnip puree, which I think rivals mashed potatoes any day.
