Vegetables can be caramelized on the stove or in the oven. Carrots and parsnips are oven-roasted until tender with bacon, thyme, and maple syrup, marrying sweet elements with savory ones.

Very easy recipe. Like most others, I dont discard the bacon either. I use parchment paper because it can get quite messy in the oven. It's been one of my go-to side dishes for either Thanksgiving or Christmas.

This is one of my go-to side dishes for the holidays. I always use parchment paper because it can get pretty messy in the oven, but then it always looks and tastes delicious with dinner.

As a beginner I found this recipe very "do-able" and everyone liked it so much at Thanksgiving last year that I am making it again this year. I also left the bacon in and it tasted fantastic!

I tried it tonight but with the carrots diagonally sliced and the parsnips sliced somewhat irregularly but about the same size as the carrot pieces. I also did not discard the bacon (which I had in about 3/4" pieces). Those who don't serve the bacon most likely ate it on the sly in the kitchen. Only complaint I have: I searched for a parsnip recipe with under 30 minutes cooking/prep time. This has 45 minutes cooking time, plus prep.

My family loves this recipe, even the parsnip non-fans. However, we do NOT discard the bacon.
