Googie’s Kitchen presents Honey Roast Carrots and Parsnips

Christmas dinners would not be the same without honey roast parsnips and carrots. We love them in this house but my husband and I were forever caramelising them. (In other words burning them). We were invited to my parents for Sunday dinner and my hubby, Howard, noticed that my Dad’s honey roast vegetables were not caramelised. (Yes, I know burnt!) Howard then asked my Dad how he cooks his roast veg.

My Dad put the honey on half way through the cooking process so this stops the caramelising/burning. Since then we have been using his method and we now have our roast veg perfect, well in our book we do.

Honey Roast Parsnips and Carrots are a great way to get my son and husband to eat their vegetables. They both love roast vegetables and we always serve them with any kind of roasted meat. You can also prepare these in advance of a meal and I even enjoy them cold for lunch the next day. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you
