I had something similar to this at whole foods and ate half of it in my car on the way home because it was so good. I was craving parsnips like nothing else, and this hit the spot perfectly. Their sweet, nutty taste combined with the freshness of the lemon and basil were delicious. So, like I do, here's my attempt to recreate it. You can probably use a little more olive oil if you'd like a little browning on them, but I try not to use too much because of its high calorie content. I like my veggies to still taste like veggies when I'm done with them and not drown out their nutritional benefits.
1 Meyer Lemon, thinly sliced
5 large Parsnips, 1/2" slice on the bias
3 Carrots, 1/2" slice on the bias
4 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
1/4 c. Baslic, chopped
Simply chop up all of the ingredients and toss in a large bowl with oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Bake in a 375 oven for about 30 minutes until the carrots and parsnips are tender, tossing halfway through. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh basil.
