Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound multicolored carrots
1 pound parsnips
1 medium red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup spinach leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 fresh basil leaves
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the roasted veggies: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Slice the carrots and parsnips into 2-inch pieces, discarding the tops. Depending on your vegetables, you may need to slice thicker ends in half or even quarters and then slice them to achieve equal pieces. Cut the onion into thick slices. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, honey, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables and toss to coat. Dump the vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
  • Roast, shaking the baking sheet once or twice while roasting, until the vegetables are dark and golden around the edges and tender in the centers, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • For the dip: While the vegetables are roasting, make the dip. Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, spinach, parsley, chives, salt, basil and lemon zest in a blender or food processor and process until smooth and green. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready.
  • For the topping: To serve, transfer the vegetables to a platter and sprinkle over the Parmesan and parsley. Set out with the dip on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs provide the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overmix the dip. Overmixing will make the dip too thick and pasty.
  • Taste the dip before serving. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of vegetables. This will allow your guests to choose their favorites.
  • If you are making the dip ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
