RECIPE AUTHOR: @simshomekitchen
INGREDIENTS:
- Parsnips: For this recipe, select fresh, unbruised parsnips. Wash them and remove the stem and tip before roasting.
- Honey: Use good-quality honey for the best flavor.
- White wine vinegar: Add a splash of vinegar for acidity. You can swap this with apple cider vinegar.
- Rosemary: I use dried rosemary for this recipe, but you can use a rosemary sprig instead. If you are not a fan of rosemary, you can swap this with thyme instead. Thyme is another aromatic herb that goes well with parsnips.
- Paprika: Use paprika for color and flavor. If you don't have any, you can use black pepper instead.
- Oil: Use vegetable oil or sunflower oil.
- Parsley: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Parsnips: To save time, parboil the parsnips for about 10 minutes before roasting. This will make them softer and faster to cook in the oven. You may also enjoy these Easy Roasted Carrots and Brussels Sprouts.
- Honey: For a sweeter and stickier glaze, baste the parsnips with more honey in the last 10 minutes of roasting, turning them over to coat them evenly.
- Batches: If you are feeding a crowd, double or triple this recipe. You may need a larger tray.
- Add-ins: You can add carrots to the parsnips, but you may need to double the seasonings. Carrots add a pop of color and sweetness to the dish. However, they may have a different cooking time than parsnips, so you may want to cut them smaller or parboil them before roasting.
- Air-fryer: Make honey-roasted parsnips air-fried style. Air-fry the parsnips at 180°C/356°F for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket 2-3 times.
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Wash the parsnips and trim off the ends.
2. Then pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Cut the parsnips lengthways into halves, then cut each half into quarters.
3. Transfer the parsnips to a large bowl and toss them with honey, vinegar, salt, paprika, rosemary, and oil until well coated. Alternatively, drizzle these ingredients over the parsnips on the tray and toss them gently with your hands or a spatula.
4. Arrange the parsnips in a single layer on the prepared tray and bake for 25 to 35 minutes until golden and tender, turning them once halfway through.
