Perfect Roast Parsnips

Catching up with family and grand-children this weekend (courtesy of the internet) the talk was about fun and food. At home movie nights had been enjoyed, with home-made burgers. A local walk, and a fabulous Sunday Roast complete with perfect roast parsnips. From the description the grand-children gave me they sounded delicious. In fact it gave me the idea for this post because I happen to know of a nice recipe ...

So if you may be looking for a simple side dish to make with your Sunday Beef or Tuscan Butter Salmon or Caprese Chicken. Parsnips are your answer. Roasting them makes them slightly sweet and perfectly tender for a quick side dish you might love more than the main course.


Ingredients
Serves Four
900 g parsnips, peeled and cut into 5cm pieces
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. dried oregano
Flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Method
1. Preheat oven to 220°C (200ºC Fan). Spread parsnips on 2 large baking trays, being sure to not overcrowd. Drizzle with olive oil and season with oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss to evenly coat.
2. Roast until golden and easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes, tossing once halfway through.

Parsnips
Parsnips are a delicious type of root vegetable that has been cultivated and enjoyed around the world for thousands of years. They are closely related to other vegetables like carrots and parsley roots, parsnips have long, cream-colored tuberous roots with a sweet, slightly nutty flavour. In addition to bringing a unique taste to your dishes, parsnips are incredibly nutritious and have been associated with many health benefits. Read more here

Spot on again folks. We love roasted parsnips, especially as they start to brown and crispy at the edges! I think we need to try adding oregano though. Oregano is always in the house. Did you get your Lidl Ouzo this week? We had the last bottle off the shelf.
