For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. If you don't have parsnips, turnips or sweet potatoes make a great substitute. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a subtle warmth. Garnish with orange zest for a vibrant presentation.
Elevate your holiday table with this vibrant dish! Sweet carrots and earthy parsnips are glazed to perfection, creating a symphony of flavors and textures. A delightful twist on a classic side.
Melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. (2 minutes)
Add carrots and parsnips to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on the edges. (8-10 minutes)
Pour in orange juice, chicken stock, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid reduces to a luscious syrup, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. (10-12 minutes)
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. (1 minute)
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle generously with fresh chives. Serve immediately. (1 minute)
