Roast Parsnips

Like roast potatoes, roast parsnips need to be cooked in hot oil, ideally at the same time as the potatoes are cooking and while the turkey is resting.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 1kg parsnips

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Place the oil in a roasting tin and heat in the oven. Meanwhile, peel the parsnips and cut - depending on their size - lengthways in half or quarters to form even-sized pieces.
  2. Carefully place the parsnips into the hot oil, and turn to coat. Roast for 40-45 minutes, until golden, turning halfway through.
