No, not really! But hey, ketosis is a metabolic state, not a food group, so you can (if you want) make parsnips a part of your diet. Serve immediately topped with some crumbled white cheese. Place the trays into the oven for 15 minutes, then rotate them and roast for another 15-20 minutes - or until the vegetables are golden and crisp. If we won’t give it enough space, the moisture will get trapped between several layers of carrots and parsnips and we’ll end up steaming them instead of roasting.

When we roast our vegetables, the moisture tries to escape. Why one layer? Can I use just one baking tray? Technically you can, but think about it all vegetables have water in them. After that, spread the vegetables out evenly in ONE LAYER onto two baking trays lined with parchment paper. To season your root vegetables properly, you need to place everything into a big mixing bowl and get your hands dirty! Take your time mixing and making sure that the carrots and parsnips are completely coated in olive oil, salt, pepper, and pressed garlic (if desired!). Now, many of you would season your veg right on the baking trays - and that’s fine, but it’s not the best way of doing it. I prefer my carrots and parsnips to be on the thinner side, so they cook faster. Then, peel your vegetables and cut them into matchsticks of your desired size. Let’s start by preheating your oven to 200C (400F). It’s not rocket science, but there are some nuances that can bring your root vegetable roast to a whole new level! So, it might not be the best idea to leave it on.
#Roasted carrots and parsnips skin
Despite the fact that they’re from the carrot family, parsnips have completely different color, texture, taste, and skin the larger the root, the ticker its skin. You just need to make sure that you wash and scrub your carrots well, so that no dirt remains, but everything is different with parsnips. Do you have to peel parsnips and carrots before roastingĬarrots, whether big or small, have very thin skin which makes it okay to roast them without peeling. It’s a very quick and easy recipe that will leave your mouth watering. Roasted carrots and parsnips are one of those tasty and healthy alternatives. Believe me, there are so many tasty alternatives to potatoes and rice out there that you’ll be surprised. When you say NO to potatoes, many new food possibilities open up. Roasted carrots and parsnip are the simplest of all the low-carb side dishes I’ve ever made.
