How do you do your Christmas parnips and carrots?

[wewishyouamerryKITTYmas]

Just wanted to know how others do their Christmas carrots and parsnips, I'm getting some nice organic ones this year and want them to be a bit special, I usually just parboil then throw in a roasting tin with some salt, pepper and olive oil but they can be a bit dry?

Any good tips?

adding blossom honey can be nice and/or mustard

Roast them from raw with honey, olive oil, salt and pepper - utterly delicious

I do carrots in butter, orange juice and rosemary, yummy!

carrots boiled, parsnips roasted in honey

mmm honey sounds nice

thanks

chop carrots into batons fry in a little butter and then boil in a bit of oj [maybe a cup you dont need loads] add fresh rosemary and boil/simmer down until carrots are glazed and you have a little liquid left.

Parsnips - peel, cut to size, toss in olive oil, sea salt, pepper and honey ! No need to par-boil. Make sure there's a nice layer of oil in the roasting tin. 45 mins is usually fine at 180 degrees.

Carrots - roast babies are nice ! Olive oil, sea salt and pepper as per snips. Honey wouldn't hurt them either. They'll cook a touch faster.

Carrots (alternative) - peel, cut, boil until just tender (but still slightly al dente) then in a pan melt a little butter, a teaspoon of brown sugar and some orange zest. Toss the carrots and serve.

Roast babies NDP???

Baby carrots, ginge !

We do carrots like NDP with a touch of butter/sugar and orange - really fab.

Sprouts are almost pallatable (but I love them anyway) with lime butter and black pepper and lardons

Parsnips great roasted and at the end a bit of honey with some sesame seeds. Delish.

Roast babies, Pmsl!

We do parsnip puree - dead easy and everyone (particularly my sil!) loves it. Basically just boiled parsnips pureed with ceram. You can put toatsed pine nuts on top if you want - but I never bother.
Carrots I just do plain steamed as that's how I liek them!
