Cooking Steps
a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
b) Trim the carrots and parnsips, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
c) Pop the carrots and parsnips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
d) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until tender, 20-25 mins.
a) Meanwhile, juice the orange into a small bowl.
b) Mix the honey and wholegrain mustard into the orange juice. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.
c) Once the carrots and parsnips have roasted for 15 mins, remove the tray from the oven and pour over the sticky glaze. Stir together to coat.
d) Return to the oven to roast for the remaining time until tender, 5-10 mins.
a) In the meantime, finely chop the parsley (stalks and all).
b) Once the carrots and parsnips are cooked, sprinkle over the parsley and almonds. Stir to combine.
c) Transfer to a serving dish for sharing.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The honey, mustard, and orange glaze delivers a sweet, well-rounded flavour that works beautifully as a side dish.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward to prepare, though some find it a little fiddly when serving alongside other dishes.
- Suggestions: If the glaze seems too runny, use less orange juice or reduce it slightly before pouring over the veg to help it stick. Those who prefer a less sweet result may want to ease back on the honey.
- Next-day meals: The dish stretches well as a side across two separate meals, making it a handy addition to your weekly cooking.
