Experience the rich, caramelised goodness of Honey and Balsamic Roasted Carrots and Parsnips, a dish that combines the natural sweetness of root vegetables with the tangy depth of Black Garlic Balsamic Vinegar with Cherry. These baby carrots and parsnips are drizzled with olive oil, honey, and balsamic vinegar, then seasoned with fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper before being roasted to perfection. The result is a tender, flavourful medley of vegetables that are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate.
To complement the roasted vegetables, a fresh bed of peppery rocket leaves provides a crisp, refreshing contrast. Topped with torn cherry bocconcini, which adds a creamy texture, and roughly chopped roasted hazelnuts for a delightful crunch, this dish is both satisfying and sophisticated. A final drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar enhances the flavours, making each bite a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savoury notes. Perfect as a side dish or a light main, Honey and Balsamic Roasted Carrots and Parsnips are sure to impress with their vibrant flavours and elegant presentation.
