Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/ gas 6. Put the carrots and parsnips in a large roasting tin with the oil, toss to coat and season well. Roast for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Pour over the balsamic vinegar, scatter over the brown sugar and toss well. Return to the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes more until the veg is soft, caramelised and crisp in places. Watch out for any thin bits burning – if they do, snap them off and discard. Serve immediately.
