Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 g parsnips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp orange juice
- 1 whole orange zest
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel the parsnips and cut them into evenly sized batons, about 2-3 inches long.
Place the parsnips onto a large baking tray and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly and season with salt and black pepper.
Roast the parsnips in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the parsnips are roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, orange juice, orange zest, and fresh thyme.
After 20 minutes, remove the parsnips from the oven and drizzle the soy honey and orange glaze over them. Toss gently to coat the parsnips in the glaze.
Return the parsnips to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
Transfer the roasted parsnips to a serving platter, spooning any remaining glaze from the tray over the top.
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish to your favorite main course.
