Honey Parsnips Recipes

HONEY-ROASTED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Top and tail 500g parsnips, cutting any larger ones in half lengthways, then put in a large saucepan, cover with salted water, bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins.
• Drain in a colander and let them steam-dry for a few mins.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/ gas 5.
• Sprinkle 1 tbsp flour and 1 tbsp honey over the parsnips and toss to coat.
• Put the parsnips in a roasting tin with 2 tbsp sunflower oil, 2 tbsp butter and seasoning.
• Roast for 40 mins, turning halfway, until golden.

HONEY-ROASTED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide parsnips and oil between two rimmed baking sheets, and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
• Roast until parsnips are tender and starting to brown, 35 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway through. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with honey, and stir to coat.

CRISP HONEY MUSTARD PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Boil the parsnips for 5 mins, then drain well and let them steam-dry for a few mins. Mix the mustard powder with the flour and plenty of seasoning. Toss the parsnips in the mix, then shake off any excess.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 - you can do this while the turkey is resting. Put the oil into one large, or even better 2, non-stick baking trays (the parsnips mustn't be crowded if they're to become really crisp), then heat in the oven for 5 mins. Carefully scoop the parsnips into the fat, turn them a few times, then roast for 30 mins or until golden and crisp. Drizzle the honey over the hot parsnips, give them a little shake, then scatter with flaky sea salt and tip into a serving dish.
