This Hairy Bikers’ honey roast parsnips recipe is brilliant because it’s so simple. There is no parboiling required, and just three ingredients, plus salt and pepper. Like potatoes, honey roast parsnips are especially tasty roasted in hot goose fat. Don’t worry if you don’t have any though.
Smaller parsnips can just be peeled and cut in half lengthways. Heat the oil or goose fat in a roasting tin until smoking. Toss the parsnip pieces in the hot fat or oil until they are nicely coated, then sprinkle with the black pepper and sea salt. Place them in the oven and roast for about 45 minutes or until cooked and starting to turn golden.
