This recipe can be made with 2 pounds of carrots and no parsnips. Serves 6.

Ingredients

• 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 2 by 2½-inch sticks
• 1 lb parsnips, peeled and cut into 2 by 2½-inch sticks
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• Table salt and ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 tablespoon melted and 2 tablespoons cubed)
• ½ cup water

Directions

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450°. Toss carrots, parsnips, 1 teaspoon thyme, vinegar, marmalade, ginger, ½ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper, and melted butter in 13 by 9-inch Pyrex baking dish. Pour water over vegetables, cover with foil, and roast until vegetables just begin to soften, about 20 minutes.
