How to Make Carrots And Parsnips With California Pistachio Butter
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the vegetables: Peel and chop 1 pound carrots and 1 pound parsnips into 1-inch pieces.
- Steam or roast the vegetables: Steam the carrots and parsnips for 7-8 minutes until tender-crisp, or roast them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Make the California Pistachio Butter: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened), 1/2 cup shelled California pistachios (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon honey. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Combine and serve: Add 3 tablespoons of the pistachio butter to the cooked carrots and parsnips. Toss gently to coat.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios and a pinch of flaky sea salt, if desired.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
