If you like carrots you will probably like parsnips.  Our Alaskan carrots are so sweet that you may not want to add the honey, but just a little bit can add a nice touch.  From Bon Appetit, Molly Stevens 2002
2

tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound carrots (about 4 large), peeled, cut into 3x1/4x1/4-inch sticks
1 pound large parsnips, peeled, halved lengthwise, cored, cut into 3x1/4x1/4-inch sticks
coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 1/2 tablespoons honey

1.  Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots and parsnips. Sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and pepper. Sauté until vegetables are beginning to brown at edges, about 12 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
2.  Add butter, rosemary, and honey to vegetables. Toss over medium heat until heated through and vegetables are glazed, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with more salt and pepper, if desired.
