Ooh, I’ve never seen dates used this way, but it looks yum. I’ve got some leftover dates that I keep meaning to try cooking with!
Although will probably experiment just roasting it all together because I’m lazy like that.

Looks yummy! Maybe a good thanksgiving side for something different this year!

Oh, this brings me back! In my family turnips were always a necessary holiday dish (not the same, but related). When I make roast chicken I sometimes like to use a bed of parsnips because they work so well! I like the date idea because parsnips have a nice bitterness and it makes sense as a sort of balance. I have put fig vinegar on roasted parsnips before and that worked really nicely.

Walking down memory lane, [here’s some chicken I roasted over parsnips and carrots](https://old.reddit.com/r/castiron/comments/a2dy0h/cornish_game_hens_parsnips_and_carrots_in_my_12/). You don’t need meat to enjoy these vegetables, but if you do eat meat the drippings from the hens really adds a lot of flavor!
