Method

  1. Boil the parsnips for 5 mins, then drain well and let them steam-dry for a few mins. Mix the mustard powder with the flour and plenty of seasoning. Toss the parsnips in the mix, then shake off any excess.
  2. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 - you can do this while the turkey is resting. Put the oil into one large, or even better 2, non-stick baking trays (the parsnips mustn't be crowded if they're to become really crisp), then heat in the oven for 5 mins. Carefully scoop the parsnips into the fat, turn them a few times, then roast for 30 mins or until golden and crisp. Drizzle the honey over the hot parsnips, give them a little shake, then scatter with flaky sea salt and tip into a serving dish.

The parsnips can be boiled, then coated with the flour and mustard up to a day in advance. Keep them covered in the fridge until ready to roast.

    Made these for the first time this week. Parsnips crisped up well and nice and tasty although I don't think they need to be par-boiled for quite as long. Will make again

    These were yummy, devoured by everyone! I only made half the portion, and yes they crisped up lovely. I added a tablespoon of sesame seeds to the flour mixture too, it gave them a nice texture ;o)

    Lovely, although we made a mix of wholegrain mustard and honey and then poured this onto the boiled parsnips. They were delicious!

    These were great - I added honey both before baking and again about 5 mins before they were done as I've a real sweet tooth when it comes to parsnips. Might try maple syrup next time which I think would compliment the mustard. Slicing the parsnips longways gave a wonderfully crunchy thin end and a soft fluffy top end.

    Lovely roast parsnips, my first attempt & will be doing again. Have had roast parsnips elsewhere over the last few weeks & these were the best in comparison. Don't need to par boil for 10mins, 5 would probably be enough but otherwise spot on :-)
