I love root vegetables, especially the roasted kind. And when you add honey to the mix… perfection.
So, when I stumbled upon a recipe for Honey-Roasted Root Vegetables from Cooking Light, I knew that I wanted to make it as soon as possible.
The recipe calls for sweet potatoes, turnips, parsnips, and carrots. It also calls for shallots, but I didn’t have any on-hand. Even still, I think the dish turned out wonderfully. It’s a good thing too because I’m going to be eating these leftover for days!
The honey really enhances the natural sugars of the caramelized vegetables and, boy, are they delicious! The sweet potatoes practically tasted like candy!
Lunch
For lunch, I paired the Honey-Roasted Root Vegetables with a small piece of pork (leftover from last night’s dinner) and a toasted English muffin with almond butter spread on top.
After eating that meal, I am SO full! I might even be too full for something sweet!
Afternoon plans: Pug walk + getting my yoga on!

Wow – this is a great idea for a fall/winter casserole-type dish.
Wow that looks incredible! It’s 10:20pm at night here but I am still lusting after those veg haha! Note to self: make soon!
Nothing fills me up like roasted roots, I love it!
This sounds delicious, and I’m really impressed that you had all of those veggies on hand. Also, if you don’t get a bit of a cut from puffins, you should I bought a box yesterday because of all of your mentions, and they’re delicious. They’re almost gone (my boyfriend also loved them…)
Ooh, those root veggies look awesome! I love them roasted
Looks yum.
I’ve been obsessed with roasted root veggies this fall/winter! Never tried them with honey though. Thanks for the recipe!
Wow! Those look amazing. Perfect for a January back-to-work-this-is-reality night! How are the sugar cravings coming along?
Good! I’ve written about it quite a bit in previous posts.
I printed this recipe off recently, but I can’t convince the husband to try it. Perhaps now I’ll be able to convince him…
Oh, this looks great! I’ve used maple syrup many times with my root veggies, but never honey. I even have some fancy leatherwood honey I could use!
Your lunch looks so yummy! The roasted root veggies and almond butter on bread add enough sweetness to the meal I think, plus you had adequate protein from the meat. Great job!!
I roasted some parnips and carrots tonight with dinner and made some garlic lime broccoli with chicken. yum yum!
I had parsnips the other day for the first time and made them like fries.. didn’t care efor them — boo!
Love those roasted veggies…looks delish, Tina!
WOW. Those look so SO good. I can’t wait to try them. I love new ways to spice up the veggies. Thanks!!
Would be interesting to hear your views and experiences on yoga. I am also a runner
And very interested to incorporate it into my training.. but I’m worried I won’t be flexible and patient enough. What tips do u have on getting started?
Mmm!! Love the sounds of the roasted veggies with honey. Perfect for eating in season too
Love roasted veggies. I like adding red pepper flakes for a big of spice!
Those look delish! I made a lil spin off of the recipe with agave nectar and added some balsamic vinegar.
