We are not sweetened vegetable “likers” here on the Ranch, we don’t usually put marshmallows on sweet potatoes.  And we don’t normally sugar carrots, we love the naturally sweet taste of a perfectly roasted veggie with just a minimal of seasonings.
    
Not that there is anything wrong with adding sweetener to a vegetable dish.   Sometimes we go ahead and top those sweet potatoes with marshmallows and toss a little sugar on those carrots.  And like today we used a little honey balsamic glaze to season these Honey roasted carrots and parsnips.   

Honey Glazed Carrots and Parsnips Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 or 5 Whole Carrots
• 3 Parsnips
• 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon Honey
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• Coarse Sea Salt
• Black Pepper
• Parsley, fresh or dried

• Baking Sheet
• Cleaver or Large Sharp Knife

How to Make Honey Roasted Carrots and Parsnips:

If you are not familiar with parsnips, they are very similar to carrots except they are white and have a nuttier earthier taste. Parsnips are great to pair with carrots because of the similar size and taste but they are just different enough to make an interesting dish like this honey glazed carrots and parsnips.       

Garnish with sea salt, pepper, and parsley to taste.  The sweetness of the honey in this Carrot and Parsnip dish is offset by the balsamic vinegar.    And together they come together to make a light glaze that’s not too sweet and not too acidy.  These little sticks can be served as a beautiful side dish for dinner parties, Thanksgiving dinner or on the side with burgers or hot dogs.   It’s a versatile dish is visually similar to fries.  

Here’s a culinary controversy for you – sweetened veggies, yay or nay? Traditionalists would argue that vegetables should champion their natural flavors. However, a bit of sweetening can elevate them to a whole new level of deliciousness! A prime example – our Honey Roasted Carrots and Parsnips. Healthy, vitamin-rich, and tastefully glazed with honey balsamic, these are no ordinary veggies. So, what’s your stand on sweetened vegetables?
