Honey Glazed Parsnips

This honey glazed parsnips recipe is a delicious and easy to make side dish to compliment any roast dinner.

These fantastic sweet and nutty tasting roasted honey glazed parsnips are sure to be a winner at any dinner table!

I especially recommend serving these up for a family roast.

For my family, just like my roast honey glazed tarragon carrots these roasted parsnips are an essential addition to the Christmas dinner table.

Indeed our Christmas Day feast wouldn't be the same without them!

What's more these honey roasted parsnips are so easy to make there's just 5 ingredients and 4 steps to them.

This recipe is a great one for home cooks looking for a simple yet impressive side dish!

You just need a bag of decent quality parsnips to make these. So this is definitely a budget friendly side dish.

You'll need to peel your parsnips and cut them into baton shapes.

It's also possible to use smaller or baby parsnips which might not require peeling and only need the ends cut off.

I usually put my parsnips into the oven roughly 30 minutes before my roast is finished cooking.

Doing that gives the roast time to rest whilst the veggies can finish cooking and you can get anything else prepared then too. Like the stuffing.

Test your parsnips at the end of cooking to ensure they are tender by inserting a sharp knife. Cook for longer if not yet ready.

💭 FAQ's

How To Keep Warm?

Whilst you are preparing the rest of your meal you can transfer the honey glazed parsnips to a warm serving bowl. They'll keep warm and you just need to stir and garnish them before serving.

Can I Store Leftovers?

I do recommend serving these fresh. They can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days though but on reheating in the oven they may loose their crispiness.

What Can I Do With Leftover Parsnips?

Why not try my creamy parsnip soup or roasted parsnip and carrot soup?
