Carrot And Parsnip Swirl Food

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.

• 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.
