Parsnips are naturally sweet (and a great potato or carrot substitute), and Brussels sprouts go down surprisingly easy when coated with maple syrup.
Ingredients
1 lb parsnips, peeled and quartered
1 lb Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed, halved
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tbsp chopped thyme
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F. Toss parsnips and Brussels sprouts with oil on a baking sheet.
Roast 20 min or until tender and lightly browned. Toss vegetables with syrup and thyme and roast 10 min more. Serve warm.

Tip
For crunch, add a handful of pecans to the tray for the last 10 min of roasting. Or make this recipe into something else entirely: Once veggies are roasted—but before adding maple syrup and thyme—purée them with chicken stock to make a silky, hearty soup (this trick works well with pretty much any tray of roasted veg). Drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with fresh thyme to serve.
