Parsnips roasted in soy, ginger and maple glaze until golden and sticky. Crisp at the edges, tender inside, and full of umami flavour. An easy side dish that pairs with roasts or Asian-inspired mains, ready in 40 minutes. Naturally adaptable for vegan or gluten-free diets.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C) and slide in a tray to heat.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, maple or honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and pepper.
Toss the parsnips in the glaze and spread them evenly on the hot tray. Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway, until sticky, golden and slightly crisp at the edges. Scatter sesame seeds over just before serving.
