3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper
Method

2. Peel the parsnips and cut them into even-sized pieces.
3. In a bowl, mix together the honey, olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper.
4. Add the parsnips to the bowl and toss them in the honey glaze until they are evenly coated.
5. Spread the parsnips out on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Potential changes & improvements
If you want to, you could add some chopped rosemary or thyme to the honey glaze. Alternatively, you could roast the parsnips with some other winter vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes or squash.
What other food it works well with
