Mmmmm ............veggies or candy?........... veggies or candy?............ veggies or candy?.................
No, no, no, I'm not trying to make some deep, important life decision.............. like whether to become a vegetarian or a candytarian! No, I'm just trying to decide how to categorize this fabulous vegetable dish in my recipe file.............. 🙂
Silliness aside, I have the feeling that you and your family/guests will LOVE this amazing vegetable recipe! Perfect for the holidays! The veggies are roasted at a high temperature until golden then tossed with a honey/maple, mustardy mixture that takes the humble carrots and parsnips into sweet, sticky vegetable (or is candy?) nirvana! So delicious and yet so simple! You just have to try them and you'll see what a difficult decision I am having to make mmmmmmmm............ veggies or candy?................. veggies or candy?.................veggies or candy?
