Maple & thyme roasted carrots and parsnips

December 2, 2015 By travellingoven 6 Comments

It’s a mid week so I thought to post something quick, easy and yummy. You might think it’s a too easy recipe to post on the blog, basically just some carrots and parsnips roasted in the oven but you know how you have vegetables that you always eat in a certain way? Like for example, you always eat boiled or steamed Brussels sprouts and than one day you try them roasted and you can’t believe how good they taste or you always eat beetroot in a certain way and than you try it in combination with some other ingredients like in a salad and you love it so much. Well, that could be the case with these vegetables as well, maybe you are not a big fan of carrots or you don’t have a habit of eating parsnips. Whatever is the case, you have to try this combination, it works so well together and the vegetables gets slightly sweet, crunchy and just amazing!


This would be a perfect side dish for holidays and another one could be for example Roasted Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes & cranberries that I posted recently (you can find the recipe here). I love this kind of food and I hope you do too, simple, healthy, delicious! 🙂
By the way, there is still no snow here (except for high up on mountains peaks) and we all start to worry slightly as it’s really not normal for the Alps and 1600 m altitude to not have any snow in December! I tell you, that’s the global warming and its visible effects, so depressing… 🙁
It’s crazy how much the climate has changed over the last 20-30 years, I remember when I was a child and would go on my winter holidays at my grandmother’s house in Slovenia, there would be mountains of snow and I would spend all my time outside playing in the snow, building snowmen, sleighing and getting wet and frozen (who cares about that when you are a kid, right?!) but now there are winters with almost no or very little snow and that’s just so sad…
Anyway, after this little climate change digression, back to happier subjects and this recipe!

    It’s always a great idea to share your way of roasting your favorite vegetables! Even if it is simple! I love the idea of combining maple and thyme together. I am vegetable-roasting addict so I’m excited to try this!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cook Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cookies like I don't have a worry on my mind! Yeah right...😅
By the way, only when I started editing I noticed that the bubbles in my hot chocolate formed a shape of heart too. That's kind of sweet..☺️ So I'm sending some love to all of you too! ❤️

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
