Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds parsnips 700g
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic peeled
- ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.
- Peel or wash the parsnips and trim the ends. If the parsnips are large, cut them in half lengthways or into ‘fingers’..
- Add the parsnips to a large pot of water, bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry with a clean tea towel.
- Toss the parsnips with the flour, then lay them out on a rimmed roasting pan in a single layer.
- Drizzle with the oil and honey.
- Dot small knobs of the butter around the pan, add the garlic cloves and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then turn them, add the thyme sprigs and cook for a further 5-10 minutes or until the honey roast parsnips are golden and cooked through.
- Serve warm.

Notes
- Cut parsnips into fry shapes for best results. This can be done by cutting the parsnip in half, then slicing it into thin strips that are about ¼ inch thick. Then, cut those strips into small fry-like shapes.
- If the parsnips are too thick, they will not cook evenly and may not be as crispy. Purchase medium-sized parsnips that are a similar size to carrots.
- Toss parsnips in a bowl with all of the ingredients before baking. This will help them evenly absorb the flavors and get crispy on the outside.
- If your parsnips are thicker than ¼ inch, you may need to bake them a little longer.
- Serving Suggestions
- Add honey roasted parsnips alongside a Portobello Mushroom Steak for a hearty dinner.
- Serve them as a snack alongside Zax Sauce, Cane's Sauce, Homemade Ketchup, or Alabama White BBQ sauce for dipping.
- Add them to a holiday dinner table along with Maple Glazed Carrots with Cayenne and Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts.
- Serve them for lunch alongside a Vegan Carrot and Lentil Hot Dog as a healthy french fry substitute.
