HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, parsnips, salt and pepper and toss to coat. Cook, gently tossing occasionally, until the carrots and parsnips are tender and golden in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, thyme and 2 tablespoons honey. Toss until the butter is melted and the vegetables are well coated, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon honey and top with more thyme.

ROASTED PARSNIPS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don't make the pieces too small. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill and serve hot.

SAUTEED PARSNIPS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the parsnips and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes. Then add the carrots and continue cooking until the vegetables begin to brown and soften slightly, another 10 minutes.
• Add the butter and thyme to the vegetables and continue cooking until the vegetables are glazed, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the parsley and serve warm.

HONEY-GLAZED ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil. Divide carrots and parsnips between prepared sheets. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, then drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over vegetables on each sheet; toss to coat.
• Roast vegetables 10 minutes; stir. Roast vegetables 10 minutes longer, stir, and reverse sheets. Continue roasting until vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 15 minutes longer. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Tent with foil and let stand at room temperature. Rewarm uncovered in 350°F oven 10 minutes.)
• Melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey and vinegar. Drizzle honey glaze over vegetables and serve.

ORANGE-BRAISED CARROTS & PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Trim and scrub or peel the carrots and parsnips. If the parsnips are thick, slice them in half or quarters lengthwise so they are about the same width as the carrots.
• Place the carrots and parsnips in a pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, that's large enough for the vegetables to lie flat. Add the shallots, orange zest, 3/4 cup of the orange juice, the olive oil, thyme, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
• Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover tightly with a lid or heavy-duty foil. Transfer to the oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours, until the carrots and parsnips are very tender. Discard the thyme bundle. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of orange juice and the parsley and season to taste. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

CARROT AND PARSNIP SWIRL

Steps:

• Chop the parsnips into 1-inch pieces. Cut the potatoes into pieces slightly smaller. Place parsnips, potatoes, garlic, and water to cover, in a large pot. Add some salt and white pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until soft, about 20 minutes.
• Chop the carrots into 1-inch pieces. Cut the potatoes into 2-inch pieces. Place the carrots, potatoes, ginger and water in a pot. Add some salt and white pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until soft, about 30 minutes.
• For each batch: Drain water from cooked vegetables and puree, doing white-colored vegetables first, through a food mill adding the butter, the heavy cream, salt, and white pepper to both batches. Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup to the carrot puree. Stir each batch in its own bowl until all ingredients are incorporated. Wrap 1-cup of each batch in plastic wrap to form a "bullet" shape, continuing until all the batches are used. You can make these ahead and microwave them just before dinner. Scoop a hot bullet into a pastry bag and pipe into a casserole dish, repeating with rest of bullets.

STOVETOP-BRAISED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except lemon juice and garnish in a skillet with a cover; add a quarter cup of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and adjust heat so mixture simmers gently. Check every few minutes and add more water if necessary.
• Cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is almost gone, about a half-hour. Uncover and boil off remaining liquid if necessary, then taste and adjust seasoning, adding lemon juice as needed. Garnish and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

STIR-FRIED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH SPICY PORK

Steps:

• Cook the pork: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, break the pork into small pieces, add the pork in an even layer and season generously with salt and the red pepper flakes. Brown and cook the pork until the pink is gone, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the vegetables and finish: Stir in the garlic, carrots and parsnips and continue stirring and cooking until the vegetables are tender and mixed in, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, peas and vinegar with the hoisin. Shut off the heat and taste for seasoning. Add more vinegar and/or salt if needed. Stir in the sesame seeds and scallions. Serve immediately, with cooked rice if desired.

CARROT & PARSNIP SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion and celery for 10 mins, stirring occasionally until softened. If they start to catch, add a small splash of water. Add the garlic, thyme and ½ tsp black pepper and cook for 2 mins. Add the carrots, parsnips and stock and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 mins until the vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally.
• Blend using a stick blender until smooth. Add the cream and blitz again until combined, then taste for seasoning. To serve, ladle into bowls and scatter over a little chopped parsley, if you like.
