Jamie Oliver Roasted Parsnips

Jamie Oliver Roasted Parsnips

Ingredients

Scale

  • 68 medium parsnips, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for caramelising)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon butter for extra richness
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon mustard for a tangy twist

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set the oven to 200°C (400°F), so the parsnips roast evenly and crisp nicely.

2. Prepare the Parsnips

Peel the parsnips and cut them into long, even wedges. If the cores are tough, remove them.

3. Season Generously

Toss the parsnips with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Add honey for caramelisation if using.

4. Arrange on a Baking Tray

Spread the parsnips in a single layer to ensure they roast rather than steam.

5. Roast Until Golden

Cook for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the edges turn crisp and caramelised.

6. Add Final Touch

Finish with a small knob of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra shine and flavour before serving.
