  2. 2 Place parsnips and carrots in a mixing bowl; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Spread vegetables evenly onto a baking sheet.
  3. 3 Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and parsnips are golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and celery in hot oil until softened and onion is beginning to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Reduce heat to low; stir in butter, brown sugar, garlic, and roasted parsnips and carrots. Continue to cook and stir until vegetables are very soft and beginning to brown, about 5 to 10 minutes.
