I so love this! I am a root vegetable fanatic, I love all of them. This particular combination of carrots and parsnips, with the glaze that the brown sugar ,butter, and vinegar make, are absolutely awesome!I will make this again, very soon! I even have a mind to expand on your already awesome recipe, and add a few rutabagas, (ooh, maybe some fresh beets too!) just because I love them so, and the glaze you have here will be so perfect on them too! Thanks for sharing!

I don't prepare parsnips all that often, and they aren't commonly available in NYC. However, I managed to find some and was quite pleased with how this recipe turned out. Boiling the vegetables first reduced the roasting time. I added all the butter and brown sugar it called for, and it made a great sauce that enhanced the veggies. Thanks Janet.
