Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Cut the parsnips into quarters lengthways, removing and discarding the hard core, then arrange over a large baking tray lined with baking parchment. Quarter the carrots lengthways as well, then add them to the tray with the parsnips.

  • STEP 2

    Mix the oil, honey, mustard, vinegar and rosemary together with some seasoning. Pour this over the veg, toss to coat, then spread everything out into a single layer. Roast for 35 mins, turning the tray around halfway through, until the veg is caramelised and tender throughout.

Recipe tips

WHICH OIL IS BEST?

Green, slightly fruity extra virgin olive oil complements the sweet earthiness of the root veg, as does the delicate nuttiness of cold- pressed rapeseed oil, so you can’t go wrong. The vegetables and oil are being roasted from cold, so extra virgin olive oil’s relatively low smoke point isn’t an issue here.

DO I NEED TO BOIL FIRST?

Quartering the vegetables and removing the woody middles from the parsnips means boiling them first isn’t necessary. The aim of this recipe is slightly sticky, caramelised root veg – if you’re looking for chunkier parsnips with crisp, crunchy exteriors and fluffy insides, boil and roast like potatoes on a tray of hot oil.
