Roasted Carrot Parsnip Hash {Vegan, Paleo}

Oven-roasted carrot and parsnip hash, made vibrant with Moroccan spices. Each serving of this quick & straightforward hash is packed with vitamins A & C (for gorgeous skin!) and 5 g of fiber. It’s also Grain-Free, Vegan & Paleo.

I probably should not make any promises, but this oven-roasted hash may make you feel extra-happy this weekend.

It’s not just because the hash is beautiful, straightforward-to-make, and satisfying. It is all about the nutritional power of the two starring ingredients: carrots and parsnips.

I love both parsnips and carrots, but our supermarkets do not always have parsnips in stock, at least until fall rolls around. So when I saw spotted some this week, I grabbed a bunch to match the bunch of carrots already in my cart.

The two vegetables are cousins, and in addition to a shared shape, both have the ability to boost serotonin in the brain, which helps you feel happier.

Would it be too much to call this Happy Hash? Both my son and husband said yes. But I can still think of it as such! And, though it may be a placebo effect, but I am definitely feeling merry since enjoying atat dinner last night, and as leftovers at lunch today,

This makes a reliable side-dish for the transition from summer to autumn eating, too. Roasting, which brings out the caramelized sweetness of the vegetables, speaks to the latter, while the bell pepper, fresh herbs, and bright colors of this dish hold on to the former.

You can easily make this into a meatless main dish, too. I did just that at lunch by adding some black beans, with some salsa and avocado on top. Or pair the hash with any number of mains, whether you are serving a carnivorous or vegan crew.

Happy eating everyone, and have a wonderful weekend!
