This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because it comes together in under an hour and delivers restaurant quality results. Goat meat is incredibly lean and packed with protein, making it a nutritious choice that feels special without being fussy. The roasted parsnips become sweet and caramelized alongside the herb infused goat, while a bright lemon and vinegar glaze ties everything together beautifully. Best of all, you need just one pan and basic pantry staples to create something that will impress anyone at your table.
