How To Make Honey-Glazed Roast Parsnips And Carrots | Waitrose?

Honey-glazed roast parsnips and carrots are like sweet, crunchy friends who hang out in the oven together and become cozy and golden.

Imagine you have two kinds of veggies, parsnips are a bit like yellow potatoes with a nutty flavor, and carrots are long and orange, like tiny candy canes. You want to make them extra special, so you put them in the oven with some honey, which is a sticky, sweet syrup made by bees, just like how kids sometimes use syrup on pancakes.

Making the Glaze

First, you wash and cut the parsnips and carrots into chunks. Then, you mix them with a little oil, salt, and pepper so they get ready for their oven adventure.

Next, you add honey to make a glaze, it’s like giving the veggies a sweet coat before they go into the oven. The honey helps them become shiny and golden on top, like when sunlight hits a pool of water in the morning.

Roasting Time

You put everything in the oven and let it roast for about 30 minutes. As time passes, the veggies get warm, soft inside, and crispy outside, just like when you toast bread until it’s golden brown.

Finally, you take them out, give them a little stir or flip, and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Now they're all ready to be eaten with a smile!
