Great little appetizer or side dish.. an adopted recipe that I inherited from Mean Chef who not longer frequents this site. Don't gasp but I'm certain that I have manged to improve a Mean Chef recipe ! DO try this without the sherry wine vinegar and DO substitute medium Sherry in it's place and up the rosemary and thyme considerably (I also added the rosemary and thyme to the sherry mix and cooked everything together) DH eats carrots if he has to but avoids them if possible, ...until I changed this to Sherry and more herbs and he LOVES this now... I have also added sweet potatoes to the carrots and parsnip and it's a marriage made in heaven. DH was actually pleased to see more carrots on the shopping list for the first time in his life! Try it, this is a delight ! Enjoy!!! ZWT REGION: New Zealand.

    Parsnips & carrots are made for each other and this recipe proves it. Your instructions are very clear and straight forward except you did not specify fresh or dried Rosemary & Thyme, I assumed that you meant fresh so cut back as I used dried. I did cut the core out of the parsnips as they were quite large and would have been tough .I used sweet & low brown sugar substiture in place of regular brown sugar. They looked great and tasted lovely

    Great way to do parsnips!!! This recipe provides a wonderful mix of flavours and the timing is just right. I had to substitute regular white wine vinegar for the sherry vinegar because it's what I had on hand. Everyone at Christmas dinner raved about this dish.

    A great side dish! The veggies were sweet and soft. I didn't have sherry vinegar or plain sherry wine, so I used 2 tablespoons of cooking sherry and 4 tablespoons of dry white wine. Since cooking sherry is so salty, I didn't use any additional salt. Four thumbs up--mine AND hubby's.
