Honey Mustard Roasted Parsnips and Carrots

Liven up your roast dinner with these delicious honey mustard roasted parsnips and carrots!

What’s your favourite part of a roast dinner? Apart from the stuffing, my absolute favourite has to be roasted veg.

I’m especially fond of parsnips and I always make extra because I can’t help sneaking a few when I take them out of the oven (by the way I do NOT recommend doing this – I’ve burnt my mouth on more than one occasion! I’ll never learn..)

I’ve long been a fan of adding honey or maple syrup to roasted veg, but one thing that always annoyed me was having to deal with the crystallised sugar stuck to the tin afterwards.

A lot of recipes I’ve seen instruct you to drizzle the honey directly over the veg, which is delicious but I’ve found that by doing this you’re much more likely to end up with black, burnt sugar that sticks to the tin.

I’ve found that if you simply mix the honey with some oil before pouring over the vegetables, you still get that gorgeous sweet caramelisation and less mess to deal with afterwards!

And who wants to deal with burnt roasting tins on Christmas Day? Certainly not me.

If you make this recipe, don’t forget to take a picture and tag me on Facebook or Instagram. And if you would be so kind to leave me a rating, I would really appreciate it!
