Ingredients:
- 4 parsnips, peeled and cut into long, thin batons
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the parsnip batons on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, tossing them to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are tender and golden brown.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the honey and thyme leaves, stirring until well combined. Cook for another minute until the mixture is slightly thickened.
- Remove the parsnips from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the honey-thyme butter over the roasted parsnips, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Garnish with a few extra thyme leaves for presentation.
This fancy parsnip recipe is a delightful combination of flavors, and the honey-glazed finish adds a touch of sweetness. It makes for an impressive side dish that pairs well with roasted meats or as part of a gourmet vegetable medley. Enjoy!
