Air Fryer Parsnips
Description
This recipe begins by peeling and slicing parsnips into sticks of roughly equal size to ensure even cooking. The parsnip sticks are coated with neutral cooking oil and honey, then seasoned with salt and pepper before placing them in the air fryer basket. Cooking at 400°F for about 12 minutes with periodic tossing allows the parsnips to develop a golden, slightly caramelized surface while remaining tender within. The honey adds a gentle sweetness that contrasts with the natural earthiness of the parsnips.
For best results, select parsnips of similar size and cut sticks to uniform thickness. Spreading the sticks in a single layer helps avoid steaming and ensures crispness. The recipe notes that cooking time can vary depending on the air fryer model and piece size, so checking for doneness around 8 to 10 minutes is recommended.
