Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound carrots
  • 1 pound parsnips
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons Sherry vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Wash the carrots and parsnips, using a vegetable brush to scrub. Peel them if they look scarred.
  • Heat the oven to 375 F. Choose the roast setting if your oven has one. If not, select the bake setting.
  • Peel the carrots and parsnips and trim the ends. Cut crosswise into 4 pieces if they are long and large. If small and thin, cut crosswise into 2 or 3 pieces. Halve the lengths vertically forming similar size pieces.
  • Place the carrot and parsnip pieces in a bowl and add the seasonings. Stir the vegetables to coat evenly with olive oil, honey, vinegar, and spices.
    (For more flavor, vegetables can be refrigerated and marinated at this point until you are ready to cook.)
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or with extra-wide foil.
  • Pour seasoned vegetable mixture onto the baking sheet and spread them out so they are evenly distributed.
  • Roast for 15 minutes and then, remove from oven and give them a stir.
  • Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes. They should be slightly soft, but not mushy.
    If they haven't reached the desired degree of softness, return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove the foil or parchment sheet from the pan, corraling the vegetables and their cooking liquid inside.
  • Pour the vegetables with seasonings into a dish and serve.
