In the culinary world, burnt carrots and parsnips often take a backseat to their perfectly roasted counterparts. However, these slightly charred vegetables possess a unique flavor profile that can elevate any dish. Burnt carrots and parsnips offer a smoky, caramelized sweetness that adds depth and complexity to soups, stews, salads, and even desserts. Their charred exterior pairs well with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces, making them a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into a wide range of recipes. If you're looking to add a touch of smoky goodness to your next meal, embrace the burnt beauty of carrots and parsnips.

ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
Parsnips are carrots' sweeter cousins, with a rich, nutty flavor. Though they don't pack the beta-carotene that their orange relatives offer, they're a good source of vitamin C and folacin. Because the core can be woody, I always remove it; this can be a tedious task but it's worth it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Oil a sheet pan or a baking dish large enough to fit all of the vegetables in a single layer. Cut the carrots and parsnips into 3-inch lengths. Quarter the fat lengths, and cut the thin ends into halves so that the pieces are about the same size. Cut away the cores from the parsnips. Toss with the garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary sprigs, and olive oil until all of the vegetables are coated with oil.
- Spread in an even layer in the prepared pan or baking dish. Cover with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the heat down to 375ºF and uncover the pan. Stir gently, and continue to roast until lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, and serve.

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.
"BURNT" CARROTS AND PARSNIPS
Got some burned bits? Great job! The natural sugars in the root vegetables, along with the brown sugar, will caramelize, giving you a little bitterness to counter all that sweetness.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a small bowl, combine butter, orange zest, orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir well to combine. Set the citrus butter aside.
- Peel the carrots and parsnips and cut them lengthwise into long wedges, which that will get a bit browned and crisp at the ends. If I am roasting young carrots small enough to cook whole or halved lengthwise, I like to leave a half inch or so of the greens attached-looks pretty. Parsnips will cook at about the same rate as carrots, so cut them into similar-size pieces.
- On a rimmed baking sheet, toss vegetables with oil; season with 1 teaspoon salt and toss again. Spread the vegetables flat and roast until tender and lightly browned (and more than lightly browned on the thinner edges), tossing halfway through, 20 to 30 minutes. If they seem to be getting too browned before tender, sprinkle them with a little water and keep roasting.
- When vegetables are roasted, place in a warmed dish and spoon the citrus butter on, tossing them gently to melt the butter and coat the roots. Serve warm.
