Instructions

Vegetable Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F.
  • Peel the parsnips and carrots and then cut them into pieces (I cut mine into thirds lengthwise and then cut each third into 4-8 pieces depending on how thick the section was - you want the pieces to be of similar size so they cook evenly) and place the sliced vegetables into a large bowl.
  • Add the avocado oil, sea salt and pepper to the bowl and mix the vegetables well to coat them evenly.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the veggies to the baking sheet. Place in the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes (cooking time will depend on the size of your vegetables - you want them to look roasted).

Vinaigrette Instructions

  • While the vegetables cook, place all the vinaigrette ingredients into your food processor or blender and blend well until smooth.

Final Assembly

  • Once the vegetables are done roasting, transfer them to a large serving bowl.
  • Pour the dressing over the cooked vegetables and stir well to coat the veggies evenly.

Notes

  1. Instead of avocado oil you can use olive oil. 
  2. Feel free to make a double or tripe batch if you are serving a crowd - just be sure to roast the vegetables on multiple baking sheets if you do. 
  3. The vinaigrette for this recipe is also delicious on salads so feel free to make extras to store for later. 
  4. Store any leftover veggies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
