Herb Roasted Carrots & Parsnips

by Erin

Herb roasted carrots bring out their sweetness while maintaining their status as a savory side dish. Then add parsnips for a peppery, nutty flavor.

Whether you celebrate Easter, or this coming Sunday is just another day of the week, or you’re just here for the food, this roasted carrot and parsnips side dish is a must. Like any roasted vegetable recipe, it’s easy and tastes magnitudes better than boiling or steaming them.

It’s no wonder I hated vegetables as a child. Once I discovered you could roast them I suddenly started eating a whole lot more of them in early adulthood.

These herb roasted carrots and parsnips are coated in olive oil as per usual and then seasoned with rosemary, thyme, and of course salt and pepper. A little more thyme for garnish and lemon juice and it’s ready to compliment your main dish!
