- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and trim the parsnips and carrots, then cut them into approximately 3-inch batons of equal thickness for even cooking.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the parsnips and carrots to the pan and stir to coat them evenly in the melted butter.

Step 5
Uncover the pan and stir in the honey and brown sugar, making sure to coat the vegetables thoroughly.
Step 6
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and clings to the vegetables nicely.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the vegetables with the chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite protein or main course.
