I’ve made this recipe twice and liked it very much. I had to use dried thyme and learned to use it sparingly. I think next time I make this, I will try it without the thyme just to see how it tastes. Actually, the carrots are so naturally sweet they don’t need the syrup (unless you want them very sweet). TIP: If you have any very large parsnips that smell bitter when cut, simply quarter the thick part and cut out the core. I found this tip online and it helped cut much of the bitterness.

Only had sweet potatoes and carrots, cut in slices; didn’t have thyme either – but turned out pretty good. Tried with spicy honey and it was even better.

Yummy.
Matthew Cuevas
My husband and daughter liked this. Iā€™m not a huge sweet potato fan so I tried to eat more parsnips.
Kurt Garcia
A keeper. I love this recipe! All I had was carrots and this made a yummy vegetable side dish. It heated up nicely the next day.

Changed it up a bit due to what was in the pantry and made a large batch. 1.5 lbs of small red potatoes and 5 med sized sweet apples were subbed for sweet potatoes. Used 5 small-med sized parsnips to use them up and a med sized sweet yellow onion for the same reason. Dried thyme subbed for fresh. Roasted at 380 degrees for 30 minutes in a giant sized roasting pan so as to have one layer, stirred then roasted for another 30 minutes. Very tasty, an interesting blend of sweet and salty. Next time will add onions and red and green bell peppers for color.

delicious

Simple and delicious! I personally will reduce the cooking time a bit because I prefer the ingredients a bit firmer.
Kristi Harrison
Delicious and nutritious.
Mark Haynes
The flavour was amazing. I cut the pieces too thin so I should have reduced the baking time. There were a few very crunchy veggies! Will make again.

This is a simple and easy recipe that tastes delicious. I plan to put this into my weekly menu plan. It’s that good. I recommend using only real maple syrup though.
Elijah Jackson
This was such an easy recipe … will definitely make this again with all kinds of root vegies. Thank you for sharing! šŸ™‚

Excellent and so easy to make! I didn’t have any parsnips and added extra carrots instead. Loved the thyme + maple combo for roasted vegetables. Great change from the average (and still good) olive oil and salt+pepper. My only complaint is not having any leftovers. Can’t wait to try this again with parsnips, if I can find them. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Don!
Robert Castro
Great recipe. Made as written and will make it again. Great side.

I would defineltly make it again. Good way to get the “guys to eat veggies. It was easy to make and tasted great.

This recipe was awesome!! I have never roasted carrots before, so I followed the timing and temperature exactly and they came out perfect!! I think adding the seasonings towards the end was key!

Everybody loved it.
