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.
STOVETOP-BRAISED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS
In this simple side dish, carrots and parsnips are simmered in a few pats of butter and a splash of water until tender, then hit with a dash of lemon juice and a sprinkling of fresh herbs. Use the smallest carrots and parsnips you can find; the smaller, the sweeter.

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.
