Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams parsnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 tablespoons honey
- 30 grams walnuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and peel the parsnips. Trim the ends and slice them into evenly sized batons, about 1 cm thick.
Place the parsnips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Toss the parsnips to coat them evenly and spread them out in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and crumble the Gorgonzola cheese over the hot parsnips. Return them to the oven for 3-5 minutes, just until the cheese begins to melt.
Drizzle the roasted parsnips with honey and sprinkle with chopped walnuts (if using) before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or light appetizer.
