Butter - this gives a rich flavour to the vegetables.Oil - vegetable oil or olive oil which helps to stop the butter from burning.Parsnips - avoid really thin parsnips with spindly ends as they tend to burn.Carrots - large, long carrots work best as it's easier to but them the same size as the parsnips.

And, if you prefer to leave the honey out, just use the same dish as the potatoes and there will be one less pan to clean! This recipe is designed so that the root vegetables can go into the oven at the same time as the roast potatoes or other potato dish, to make life as easy as possible. They have such a great natural sweetness, that is enhanced when roasting so it's a shame not to make the most of their flavour. I love vegetables, but I am really not a fan of plain boiled carrots and other root vegetables. Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness, and the honey adds a gorgeous shine to the caramelised edges, that is difficult to resist.Īnd the best bit? They can cook at the same time as your roast potatoes, so you can put them in and forget them. These honey roasted carrots and parsnips are an easy side dish that are ready in just 40 minutes, so perfect for your Sunday roast or any meal.
