Maple-glazed parsnips and carrots
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 450 F, with the rack in the lower third. Place the parsnips, carrots, bacon, and thyme in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the syrup; season with salt and pepper. Toss well to combine.
- Bake until the bottoms of the vegetables begin to caramelize and turn dark brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, and toss the vegetables carefully.
- Return to the oven, and bake until all sides are well browned, about 25 minutes more. Discard the bacon and thyme. Serve immediately
