Roasted Carrots and Parsnips


With the leftover carrots and parsnips from the soup, I decided to just roast some as a side for dinner one night.  It was simple and easy. Although I think it's key to make sure the pieces are all the same size. I wasn't as concerned, and as a result, some pieces were crispy, while others were softer.

Ingredients:
1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into thin strips

1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips
4 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground red pepper
pinch nutmeg and cumin
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375° F.

2. In a large bowl, toss the parsnips, carrots, oil, spices, salt and pepper.


3. Spread veggies on a roasting pan and cook for 45-50 minutes. 

4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
