Easy Peasy Roasted Parsnips

I love parsnips, they have such a sweet flavour and pleasant texture. I grow them in the garden so that I don't have to go to the allotment when it's really cold over the winter. This is a really simple recipe for roasted parsnips, and it goes with other dishes as well as a roast dinner...I cooked this batch with a sausage casserole and served them on the side, but parsnips go particularly well with white fish as well.

For each large parsnip you will need about 1 tbsp oil, 1 tsp honey and a pinch of ground ginger.
1) Preheat the oven at 200C/400F/gas 6.
2) Mix the oil and honey together.
3) Cut the parsnips into strips. Place in a baking dish and pour over the oil/honey mixture and add the ginger. Turn a little so there is an even coating.
4) Place in the oven for about 30 minutes (depending on how many parsnips you've used) untill they are golden and tender.
NOTE: Nigella Lawson uses maple syrup with her roasted parsnips.
