Roasted parsnips glazed with wholegrain mustard and crisped with fresh sage. Sweet, earthy and tangy, they’re a versatile side dish for roasts or everyday meals. Easy to prepare in under 40 minutes, naturally vegan, and full of flavour balance that keeps every bite interesting.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Place a baking tray inside to heat up.
Peel and cut the parsnips into batons. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Toss the parsnips until coated.
Spread the parsnips on the hot tray in a single layer. Scatter the sage leaves over the top. Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and crisp around the edges. Drizzle with a little honey at the end if you’d like extra stickiness.
