So, ever since Daniel started back at school and the evenings started getting darker, I’ve been thinking about Christmas. I mentioned in my perfect roast potatoes post a couple of days ago that I’m not a huge fan of the Autumn and Winter. It’s that time when secretly everyone’s thinking about Christmas, but it’s a bit too early because you have to get Halloween out of the way first (or is it just me?). I’ve entered into stealth Christmas mode. There’s another motive behind this new found desire to share everything roast dinner.

Honey roasted carrots and parsnips are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. What To Serve With Roasted Parsnips And Carrots You could also use fresh rosemary or fresh thyme.

Fresh Parsley – Optional, but adds a pop of color for serving your fall veggies.

You could also use pecans, almonds, or cashews, or omit altogether for a nut-free option.

Walnuts – Optional, but they add a nice crunch at the end.

Seasoning – Cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper all bring out the natural sweet and savory flavors of the parsnips and carrots.

You can use any heat-safe oil, such as regular olive oil, extra-virgin olive oil, or avocado oil.

Olive Oil – Oil helps the roasted carrots and parsnips caramelize and also help the seasonings stick.

You could also use maple syrup instead, or omit altogether.

Honey – You can use regular honey, but I use Wholesome Yum sugar-free honey to avoid added sugar.

Try to make them the same size as the carrots. Like the carrots, you want to peel the parsnips and cut them into thick sticks.

Parsnips – Parsnips are a root vegetable closely related to carrots, but they have a spiced, nutty flavor.

Carrots – You know this one! 😉 For best results, peel them and cut them into thick sticks that are uniform in size and thickness.
