Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams parsnips
- 200 grams shallots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel the parsnips and cut them into evenly sized chunks or sticks, approximately 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
Peel the shallots and cut them in half lengthwise. If the shallots are large, cut them into quarters for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the parsnips and shallots. Drizzle with the olive oil and honey, then sprinkle with thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are well coated.
Spread the coated parsnips and shallots in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness by piercing the parsnips with a fork; they should be tender and caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
