5 star all the way! The combination of herbs, spices and lemon combined with the natural flavor of the carrots & parsnip is wonderful. I followed the ingredients exactly however I cooked the recipe differently. I made it a true do ahead recipe. I cooked the carrots & parsnips and arranged them in a baking dish - mixed the Olive oil, fennel seeds, coriander, cinnamon & garlic then spread this mixture over the veggies.covered the dish with foil and refrigerated it until 45 minutes before dinner. I mixed the cilantro, lemon peel & lemon juice & extra 1 tbsp oil together-covered and set it aside. I did all of this in the morning , . Popped it in a 350 oven, foil covered. Baked for 30 minutes, removed the foil and sprinkled the coriander mixture over the veggies - back into the oven for apprx 15 minutes 6" from the broiler and the vegetables browned nicely. Love this dish thanks Sharon123 for posting Hope you don't mind that I cooked it a little differently

These were really good, I enjoyed them alot. I like the blend of lemon juice and peel with the spices. I used two large garlic cloves instead of five, but I wished I had put another one in there.

If you love parsnips and baby carrots, chances are that they've never tasted as good as this. Fabulous blend of flavours: fabulous recipe! Thanks for sharing it! We enjoyed this with Sharon123's Cashew Mushroom Loaf Cashew Mushroom Loaf.

As past reviewers have said, the blend of flavors in this dish is fantastic. I used regular carrots, quartered, and sprinkled each serving with coarse salt. Delish. But whaddya mean, ten servings- as a side dish we got six out of it! This is a keeper!

What a nice blend of flavors! Went very well with a roast goose for Christmas dinner. I overcooked the parsnips in step one, but they were still tasty!

Loved this! I'd never tried parsnips before, so this was a wonderful way to introduce a new veggie into my diet. I needed to make this a truly "make-ahead" dish, so I followed the method that Bergy shared in her review, but otherwise made as directed for the most part; I used the coriander but had to do without the cilantro (had none), and used dried ornage peel instead of the fresh lemon peel. In spite of boiling the parsnips a little too long, this came out just right... GREAT flavors! As it was baking in my oven, my roomie couldn't get over how wonderful it smelled. I had NO leftovers, even though I made the full recipe and there were only 5 of us at dinner. Thanks for sharing!
