Equipment

  • chopping board
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Kitchen knife
  • Large saucepan
  • sieve
  • Roasting tray with sides

Ingredients

  • 160 g carrots
  • 160 g parsnips
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (plus extra to season)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/390F.
  • Peel the carrots and parsnips and cut into even sized batons.
  • Place the carrots and parsnips into a saucepan, add the salt and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and and parboil for 5 minutes. Then drain and leave in the sieve to steam dry.
  • Now place the vegetables onto a non stick oven proof tray, drizzle with olive oil and honey, and season with salt and black pepper. Give everything a good toss to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated in the oil, honey and seasoning.
  • Place the tray into the oven and roast for 30 minutes.
  • Give the tray a shake every 10 minutes to stop the vegetables from sticking to the tray, and cook until golden and crispy, but soft on the inside.
  • Remove the tray from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is easily multiplied and can be doubled or trebled depending on the numbers you are serving. However, if cooking for a crowd use 2 roasting trays to ensure that the carrots are in a single layer and not piled up in the tray. You want the vegetables to roast and not steam in the oven.
