RECIPE TIPS
TWISTS: THYME & SESAME

Nestle 3 thyme sprigs and 3 unpeeled garlic cloves around the parsnips in the roasting tin, and sprinkle over 2 tbsp sesame seeds. Cook as above. When the parsnips have roasted, squish in the roasted garlic and remove the thyme. Scatter over the leaves from 3 thyme sprigs and drizzle over 2 tbsp tahini mixed with 1 tbsp water before serving.

TWISTS: PARMESAN & PUMPKIN SEEDS

Crush 25g pumpkin seeds using a pestle and mortar to a coarse powder. Mix with 50g grated parmesan and season well. When the parsnips have been baking for 30 mins, spoon over the parmesan mixture and return to the oven for 10 mins more.

TWISTS: POPPY SEEDS & QUINCE

Dot 50g quince paste around the parsnips halfway through roasting. Sprinkle 2 tsp poppy seeds over 5 mins before the end of cooking.

I made these for the first time this Xmas, and I’ve never known my parsnips to go so quickly! Will definitely make again.

Perfect every time - I made them 3 times over the Christmas period. I was a bit nervous when checking on them but something amazing happens in the oven in the last 10 mins of roasting. This is my go-to recipe from now on!

tip

Made these tonight. Tasty, but a tip I’ll use myself next time is to cook them in greaseproof paper. The honey likes sticking to the Pyrex dish I used (a roasting tray would have been even worse!).

question

If I freeze them after step 2 (as recommended). Should I defrost before cooking or cook from frozen? And what temperature/how long?

Hi, thanks for your question. Either is fine. Just follow the cooking instructions in the recipe, adding an extra 5 mins if cooking from frozen. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

Can I use gluten free plain flour to make these?
