Carrots and Rutabagas with Lemon and Honey

This vibrant side dish of honey and lemon glazed carrots and swede brings a refreshing zest to any dinner table. By julienning the root vegetables into delicate matchsticks, you create a refined texture that absorbs the bright, citrusy glaze beautifully. The natural sweetness of the carrots and swede is balanced by the tang of fresh lemon and the floral notes of honey, making this a sophisticated alternative to traditional mashed roots.

Perfect for a Sunday roast or as a colourful addition to a festive spread, this vegetarian-friendly recipe is both light and comforting. The addition of fresh chives provides a mild onion-like finish and a pop of green colour. It is an easy way to elevate humble supermarket staples into a nutritious, flavourful accompaniment that pairs excellently with roasted meats or nut roasts.
