Instructions 

To begin, prepare your vegetables. Peel and chop both the parsnips and carrots so all the pieces are the same size.

Place the pan on the stove and drizzle with the olive oil. Heat the oil in a pan and then add in both the carrots and parsnips. Move the pan around to evenly coat the vegetables in the oil.

Add in your thyme, cinnamon, star anise plus the salt and pepper to the pan.

Cook your carrots and parsnips on medium heat for around 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and almost cooked through. Make sure to keep moving and turn the vegetables over frequently so they cook evenly.

Drizzle the carrots and parsnips with honey and continue to cook the vegetables until they begin to caramelise.

Deglaze your pan with a splash of water and then increase the heat. Cook for another two to three minutes until the liquid has evaporated and the vegetables are fully cooked through.

Add in a few knobs of butter as a glaze, and your perfect honey-glazed carrots and parsnips are now ready to serve.
