Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots
- 1 pound parsnips
- 3 tablespoons butter, or half butter and half oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
- salt and pepper 
 
This quick-cooking medley features two naturally sweet vegetables, making it a kids' favorite.
 
Directions
  • Trim off any green tops from carrots and parsnips. Peel and cut cross-wise into round
    "coins", about 1/8 inch thick. (Thicker is ok, but will take longer to cook).
  • Melt butter in
    large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetables and stir to coat with butter. Cook, stirring
    occasionally, but leave pieces in contact with bottom of pan long enough to brown a little. Cook
    until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Salt and pepper lightly.
  • Put into serving dish and sprinkle
    with parsley or cilantro, if using. Serve warm.
