Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Feta
If you’re often struggling to find a healthy side dish to serve with your favorite protein, look no further – this easy roasted vegetable side dish will become your new go-to.
During the fall and winter, I love roasting vegetables in the oven and serving them as a side or over a bed of grains with a dressing. Root vegetables like carrots and parsnips have flavors that come out when roasted, like the nuttiness of the parsnips or the sweetness of the carrots.
With a crumbling of feta cheese for protein and saltiness and a sprinkling of toasted almond slivers, these carrots and parsnips come to life. Try serving this easy baked side dish with a roasted chicken, pork tenderloin, or if you’re vegetarian, tossing with some roasted chickpeas.
Spiralizing vegetables makes the cook time much quicker, because the strands of vegetables aren’t as thick as a cube or slice. Therefore, you get a healthy, flavorful, and filling side dish is much less time! These vegetables work well in a veggie bowl as a main dish, so they are meal prep friendly and reheat well (just toss them in a skillet or pop them back in the oven.)
How do I reheated roasted vegetables?
- Place the vegetables in an oven safe dish and bake for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Place the vegetables in a large skillet and toss over medium-high heat until heated through, about 5 minutes.
