Roasted Carrots and Parsnips

By AllisonClayman

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds carrots
• 1 1/2 pounds parsnips
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel carrots and parsnips; halve crosswise to separate thick and narrow parts. Halve or quarter thick parts lengthwise (so pieces will be similar in size); cut both parts diagonally into 3/4-inch pieces.

On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss carrots and parsnips with oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer.

Roast vegetables until tender, tossing once or twice, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes (if vegetables begin to stick to the pan, sprinkle with water, and loosen with a spatula). Serve immediately.
