Roasted Carrots and Parsnips

Sometimes there's just too many mashed or pureed vegetable offerings at the holiday table, so along with some Brussels sprouts or sauteed green beans, I like to serve roasted carrots and parsnips. Roasting them intensifies their flavor, and enhances their natural sweetness.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 pound carrots
• 1 pound parsnips
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp freshly chopped thyme or rosemary

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel carrots and parsnips, and cut into quarters vertically and crosswise into about 2-inch even-sized chunks. Place in a bowl with olive oil and herbs and stir. Spread carrots and parsnips on a large cookie sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until tender.
