Ingredients
800gParsnipspeeled and halved (or quartered if large)
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the parsnips and blanch for 3 minutes, then drain well and allow to steam dry for 2 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the parsnips with olive oil, honey, thyme, and a generous pinch of sea salt. Make sure each piece is coated evenly.
Arrange the parsnips in a single layer on a baking tray, cut side down. Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway, until golden, sticky, and tender.
Season generously with freshly ground black pepper and scatter over a few extra thyme leaves. Serve immediately as a side dish.
