Maple Glazed Parsnips And Sweet Potatoes Recipes

MAPLE-GLAZED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup water, the parsnips, cranberries, maple syrup, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the coriander, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Uncover and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon water and the lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until glazed, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley; season with salt.

MAPLE-GLAZED PARSNIPS AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Prepare parsnips: Trim tops and bottoms; peel, and slice in half crosswise to separate thick and thin parts. Halve or quarter thick parts lengthwise, until all parsnip pieces are roughly the same size. (In other words, slice 'em into matchsticks.).
• Prepare sweet potatoes: Trim ends, then quarter lengthwise and cut diagonally into 1/2" pieces.
• On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss parsnips and sweet potatoes with oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
• Roast until tender and golden, about 30 minutes. (Toss once or twice while roasting.) When done, transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, stir together maple syrup and mustard. Pour over parsnips and sweet potatoes, and stir to coat. Serve immediately.

• Scatter pieces of sweet potato, carrot, and parsnip onto a jelly roll pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are partially soft, about 30 minutes. Scatter thyme sprigs over vegetables and drizzle with maple syrup. Return to oven and bake until vegetables are soft, about 15 more minutes.

HONEY-ROASTED VEGETABLES
