Sometimes there's just too many mashed or pureed vegetable offerings at the Thanksgiving table.It's interesting to see the reaction of guests when they are served this side dish. Roasting them intensifies their flavor, and enhances their natural sweetness.This is absolutely delicious and will add a different look and taste to your beautiful meal.

•1 pound carrots
•1 pound parsnips

Special Touch

If you want to add a "Martha" touch, you can easily tie the parsnips and carrots together with pieces of green onion thread...give it special attention and your guests will appreciate it even more...its a good thing!!!Go ahead and get fancy,show your artistic side...

Enjoy!!
