RECIPE TIPS
TWISTS: THYME & SESAME

Nestle 3 thyme sprigs and 3 unpeeled garlic cloves around the parsnips in the roasting tin, and sprinkle over 2 tbsp sesame seeds. Cook as above. When the parsnips have roasted, squish in the roasted garlic and remove the thyme. Scatter over the leaves from 3 thyme sprigs and drizzle over 2 tbsp tahini mixed with 1 tbsp water before serving.

TWISTS: PARMESAN & PUMPKIN SEEDS

Crush 25g pumpkin seeds using a pestle and mortar to a coarse powder. Mix with 50g grated parmesan and season well. When the parsnips have been baking for 30 mins, spoon over the parmesan mixture and return to the oven for 10 mins more.

TWISTS: POPPY SEEDS & QUINCE

Dot 50g quince paste around the parsnips halfway through roasting. Sprinkle 2 tsp poppy seeds over 5 mins before the end of cooking.
