Categories     side-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound carrots, with the greens attached
1 pound thin parsnips
1/3 cup small-diced shallots (1 large)
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice, divided (3 oranges)
1/3 cup good olive oil
6 sprigs fresh thyme, tied with kitchen string
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

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.

ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH CITRUS BUTTER



Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Citrus Butter image

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Roast     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Carrot     Parsnip     Healthy     Low Cholesterol     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound carrots, peeled
1 pound parsnips, peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

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.

Tips:

  • For the most flavorful parsnips and carrots, choose organic vegetables whenever possible.
  • If you don't have fresh thyme on hand, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  • To make sure the vegetables are evenly coated in the orange butter, toss them frequently while they're roasting.
  • If you like your vegetables extra crispy, roast them for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve the roasted vegetables immediately, while they're still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

This recipe for roasted parsnips and carrots with orange butter is a delicious and easy side dish that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet parsnips, carrots, and tangy orange butter is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try.
