Maple-Roast Parsnips

Oh, boy.  This is good.

Instead of roasting my parsnips with the usual salt-pepper-garlic-olive oil, I followed this recipe for Maple-Roast Parsnips.  The only thing I did differently was add a light sprinkling of salt before roasting.  They are very mild, sweet, caramelized, and delicious.

Maple-Roast Parsnips

• 2¼ lbs parsnips
• 125ml  vegetable oil 
• 80ml maple syrup 
  
  

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F.
   
2. Peel the parsnips and then halve them crosswise, then halve or quarter each piece lengthwise.
   
3. Place the parsnips into a roasting tin. Pour the oil over the parsnips and mix them well so that the oil covers all of the pieces.
   
4. Pour the maple syrup over the parsnips and transfer the roasting tin to the oven. Roast the parsnips for 35 minutes, or until they are tender and golden-brown.
