Honey-Glazed Roasted Carrots and Parsnips

This classic vegetarian side dish brings out the natural sweetness of autumnal root vegetables through slow roasting and a simple, glossy glaze. The combination of earthy parsnips and vibrant carrots provides a beautiful contrast in both colour and texture, while a touch of balsamic vinegar cuts through the honey to provide a balanced, savoury finish. It is a timeless accompaniment that feels equally at home on a mid-week dinner table as it does for a festive celebration.

Ideal for a traditional Sunday roast or a seasonal feast, these honey-glazed roasted carrots and parsnips are both effortless and impressive. You can even prepare the vegetables a couple of hours ahead of time, making it a stress-free option when hosting guests. Simply drizzle with the warm butter glaze just before serving to ensure they stay perfectly caramelised and full of flavour.
