Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams parsnips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the parsnips and cut them into evenly-sized batons or wedges, aiming for pieces approximately 10 cm (4 inches) long and 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, and butter. Microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or until the butter is melted. Stir to combine into a smooth glaze.
Spread the parsnips out on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the honey-butter mixture evenly over the top, ensuring the parsnips are well-coated. Sprinkle with rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife (leaving the skins on) and scatter them over the parsnips for added flavor.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the parsnips once halfway through to promote even caramelization. They should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the parsnips to a serving platter, discarding the garlic skins. Serve warm and enjoy!
