Bright orange and creamy white, full of flavor and easy to make, Honey Roasted Carrots and Parsnips take their turn in my vegetable rotation. Five, yes, only five ingredients, and all but 2, the carrots and the parsnips, are resting patiently on your pantry shelf. Use your black iron skillet or a sheet pan for the roasting process. Buy a local honey like Buzz Savories- better flavor and good for bees and beekeepers, thereby good for fruit trees and vegetable gardens.
Honey Roasted Carrots and Parsnips add light and good taste to dreary January. I hope you cook this recipe, and if you like it, send me a text message at [email protected]. I will publish it on the Buzzsavoriesllc.com site.
