Golden parsnips roasted with maple syrup, olive oil and rosemary until sticky and caramelised. This easy side dish is naturally vegan, perfectly balanced, and ready in under 40 minutes. A seasonal favourite that pairs with everything from roasts to veggie mains, bringing sweetness and fragrance to the winter table.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Place a roasting tray inside to get it nice and hot.
Peel and cut the parsnips. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, mustard (if using), salt and pepper. Toss the parsnips so they’re evenly coated.
Spread the parsnips in a single layer on the hot tray. Tuck rosemary sprigs around them. Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway through, until they’re sticky, golden and caramelised at the edges.
