Roasted vegetables are the best way to eat them and when it comes to these Honey Roasted Parsnips, it changes the texture and makes them nice and crispy.
Place 6 Parsnips into a pan of boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes.
Drain and add to a baking dish with 2 tablespoon Olive oil, 1 pinch Sea salt, 2 tablespoon Honey and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and mix well.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crispy on the outside and soft inside.
Notes
We used Dijon mustard to make this, but you could use English mustard to give it even more of a kick or wholegrain mustard so it has some texture to it.
You could keep this side dish vegan by using maple syrup instead.
If you want your honey parsnips even crispier, then you can add a little bit of flour to the coating too.
Make sure you pat the parsnips dry after you have par-boiled them - this will help them to get crispy.
You could use a mixture of vegetables rather than just parsnips. Try a mix of parsnips, carrot, potato and beets to make honey roasted vegetables.
Make sure that the parsnips have plenty of space in the baking tray. If they are too close together, they will steam rather than bake and won't get crispy.
For some added flavour to these honey roasted parsnips, why not add a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar?
Make sure all the parsnips are cut to roughly the same size so that they all cook at the same rate. The bigger they are, the longer they will take to cook and the smaller they are the quicker they will take to cook.
