Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds parsnips (5 to 6 medium)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Peel the parsnips and cut them into 2-inch lengths. Quarter the thickest pieces, halve the medium ones, and leave the thinnest ones whole. You want all the pieces to be about the same size. Put the butter in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the parsnips in a single layer and put the dish in the oven until the butter melts. Stir in the brown sugar and vinegar. Add the parsnips, salt, and pepper and stir to coat all the pieces evenly. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the thyme. Continue to bake until the parsnips are browned and tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes longer.

2 pound carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 1/2 pounds parsnips, peeled and halved lengthwise (quartered if large)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

  • Cut the parsnips into even-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Toss the parsnips with olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat them evenly.

  • Stir the parsnips occasionally during roasting to ensure even cooking.
  • Garnish the parsnips with fresh thyme or other fresh herbs before serving.

Conclusion:

Roasted parsnips are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
