How to Make Honey & Maple Roasted Parsnips
Start by slicing the Parsnips lengthways and then again into quarters. You can half the smaller ones, but try to keep them relatively the same size. Next, you parboil them for 3 minutes. Drain them, and allow them to dry completely before adding them to a pan. Drizzle with honey, maple syrup, and butter. Toss to coat and add salt, pepper, and thyme. Throw them in a pan and bake! It’s that easy and totally worth every second!
