Orange Ginger Glazed Carrots and Parsnips

If there is one thing I love, it is easy, delicious, side dishes packed with nutrients.  These Orange Ginger Glazed Carrots and Parsnips are a cinch to make and even have the powerful anti-inflammatory fresh ginger!

I look for the freshest vegetables I can find.  I was able to find multi-colored carrots!

This dish is as easy as peeling and slicing your carrots and parsnips, making your sauce and then letting the vegetables cook in the pan.

Below is a photo of the sliced carrots and parsnips in the skillet before cooking.

Here are the vegetables right after cooking:

I saute my vegetables until tender, but with some crispness.  Otherwise, in my opinion, they lose their flavor.

The sauce that flavors this dish is amazing – orange and ginger go together well.
