<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Week 12 – Danny Boome<\/h2>\n

\"FNCCC\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

This week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chef for the Food Network Chef Cooking Challenge is Danny Boome<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Never heard of him!\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>I checked out his food network recipes<\/span><\/strong><\/a> as well as his recipes<\/span><\/strong><\/a> from his UK show.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>I was just uninspired.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d wanted to a beef recipe to use up some of the meat in the big freezer, but his beef selections (either on food network or on his UK show) were very limited — mostly to whole roasts \/ tenderloins.\u00c2\u00a0 I finally picked a simple roasted vegetable dish.<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Thyme<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

1 pound carrots<\/p>\n

1 pound parsnips<\/p>\n

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons honey<\/p>\n

Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n

6 sprigs fresh thyme<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Peel the carrots and parsnips and cut them in half lengthwise, larger ones can be quartered.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"002\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Place them on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the carrots and parsnips with the olive oil and honey. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Scatter the thyme sprigs on top.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Place them in the preheated oven. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>After 10 minutes, give the veggies a toss and put back in the oven for another 10 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized. Serve warm.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"006\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I cut my parsnips into 1\/8\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s instead of the halves or quarters suggested because they were really fat and I wanted them the same size as the carrots.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>It took slightly longer than the 20 minutes listed here to get them cooked, even cut down to size.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>An extra 5-8 minutes and they were soft as I like them.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

What we thought?\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Too sweet.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Carrots and parsnips are already very sweet vegetables.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Roasting brings that out more.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Add in the honey and I thought they were almost cloyingly sweet.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Yuck. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I thought that would make them successful with the kidlet.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>He said he liked them when I asked but when I said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153should I make them again?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he quickly said No thanks! So I think he was being polite \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
