Recipe information
Yield
serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
1Ā 1/4 pounds parsnips (about 6), peeled, halved lengthwise
3/4 pound thin carrots (about 12), peeled, greens trimmed but not removed
4 slices bacon, each cut into 4 pieces
10 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 450Ā°F, with the rack in the lower third. Place the parsnips, carrots, bacon, and thyme in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the syrup; season with salt and pepper. Toss well to combine. Bake until the bottoms of the vegetables begin to caramelize and turn dark brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, and toss the vegetables carefully. Return to the oven, and bake until all sides are well browned, about 25 minutes more. Discard the bacon and thyme. Serve immediately.
