Perfectly Roasted Veggies
- Roasting vegetables increases their sweet flavor while making them crispy, tender, and delicious. And roasting doesn’t just need to be applied to potatoes. Roasting is great for so many veggies from cauliflower to sweet potatoes.
- With just two simple vegetables – carrots and parsnips – this recipe is really easy to prepare. Just peel, cut, and then toss with the oil, salt, and brown sugar.
- They also don’t take long to cook – just 20-30 minutes.
Ingredients & Variations
PARSNIPS: These long carrot-like vegetables can be found in the produce section of the supermarket. Generally, they are sold in bags like carrots. They are long and thin like a carrot, however, they are more off-white and creamy. It is best to peel them and cut off the ends before cooking.
CARROTS: Carrots are such a cheap and versatile vegetable. They are great for munching on raw, but they are also great for roasting. In the fall carrots are at their sweetness, especially when purchased at farmer’s markets.
VARIATIONS: Brown sugar can be substituted with a drizzling of melted honey or maple syrup. Switch up this recipe by adding some balsamic vinegar, this would give these roasted vegetables more of a glaze. Toss in a potato, brussels sprouts, or onion for more variety.
