Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized parsnips
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Peel the parsnips and cut them into equal-sized sticks, about 3-4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the honey until well combined. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, toss the parsnip sticks with the melted butter and honey mixture, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the parsnips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, flipping the parsnips halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove the parsnips from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish and enjoy!
