Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F. (See Note 2.)
- Place the prepared parsnips in a shallow roasting tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Scatter over salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss everything together, so the parsnips are well coated, then arrange in one layer. (See Note 3.)
- Place the parsnips in your preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes remove from the oven and turn all the parsnips over. Return to the oven for a further 10 minutes or until the parsnips are golden and crispy and just starting to go brown at the edges.
- Remove from the oven and serve.
Notes
- To cut medium parsnips into 6 equal sized pieces, first cut them in half widthways. Cut the top half into 4 lengthways and the bottom half into 2 lengthways – this creates 6 roughly equal sized parsnip batons, which will roast beautifully. (You may need to adapt this strategy if your parsnips are large or small sized!)
- If you are cooking these in the same oven as a joint that is being cooked at 200C / 180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F, that’s fine but you may want to add a 3-5 extra minutes to the last 10 minutes of cooking time to ensure you have perfectly golden roast parsnips. If you remove the joint before the parsnips have finished cooking, I recommend turning the oven up at that point.
- One super important factor in ensuring roast parsnip perfection is to make sure the parsnips are well spaced out in the roasting tray. Ideally none of the parsnips should be touching each other and definitely don’t have more than one layer! Otherwise, the parsnips will steam rather than roast – resulting in soggy soft parsnips, not crispy roasted ones!
- Suitable for freezing.
