This recipe features a perfect pairing of flavors that makes a super side dish. It also couldn't be any simpler to make and requires mostly hands-off cooking time. Toss the carrots and parsnips with olive oil, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper, and let them roast away in the oven until they're softened and start to caramelize. They're then ready to go, it's that easy! Roasting is one of our favorite ways to prepare vegetables, and they'll go well with any pork, chicken, or turkey entrée you could think of. You can also boil the cooked vegetables in broth and then purée the ingredients to make a fantastic soup.
