Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Garlic, Citrus, and Sage

|
November 10, 2017

Roasted root vegetables are an ideal winter side dish, and when they become brown and caramelized, they have a sweetness that can satisfy your sugar cravings.

Usually, it’s plenty to toss them with just olive oil, salt, and pepper, but when you want a bit more, this is your dish. The citrus adds brightness, the sage adds softness, and when are whole roasted garlic cloves not a good thing?

1 pound/455 g parsnips, cut diagonally into 1/8-inch/0.3 cm slices

20 garlic cloves

1/2 lemon, cut crosswise into 1/8-inch/0.3 cm slices (peel and all)

1/4 cup/60 mL organic extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
