Ideas for a Dinner Featuring Carrots, Parsnips, and Peppers

I’m eager to experiment with parsnips and was thinking about roasting them alongside carrots and peppers like Poblano and jalapeños. I plan to use chicken breasts (which I won’t be roasting). I have an air fryer and would love any tips or recipes you might have!

    That sounds like a delicious combination! Roasting carrots, parsnips, and peppers can bring out their natural sweetness and add great flavor to your meal. Here’s a simple air fryer recipe you can try:

    Roasted Carrots, Parsnips, and Peppers with Chicken

    Ingredients:

    • 2-3 carrots, sliced into sticks
    • 2-3 parsnips, sliced into sticks
    • 1-2 bell peppers (like Poblano and jalapeño), sliced into strips
    • Olive oil
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs (like thyme or rosemary)
    • 2 chicken breasts
    • Optional: lemon juice or balsamic vinegar for added flavor

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Vegetables:
    2. Wash and peel the carrots and parsnips. Cut them into sticks of similar size for even cooking.

    3. Slice the peppers into strips.

    4. Season the Vegetables:

    5. In a large bowl, combine the carrots, parsnips, and peppers. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you like. Toss to coat evenly.

    6. Air Fry the Vegetables:

    7. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
    8. Place the seasoned vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches depending on your air fryer size).

    9. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

    10. Cook the Chicken:

    11. While the vegetables are cooking, season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like (like garlic powder or paprika).

    12. You can cook the chicken on the stovetop or in another part of the air fryer. If cooking in the air fryer, set it to the same temperature and cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    13. Serve:

    14. Once everything is cooked, plate the chicken breasts alongside the roasted vegetables. Drizzle with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar if desired for an added tang.

    Feel free to adjust the seasonings and vegetables based on your personal preferences. Enjoy your dinner!
