Balsamic Roasted Parsnip

Posted on December 3, 2007 by Clare

This delicious parsnip recipe is simple and makes a change from plain roast parsnips.

Balsamic Roast ParsnipPeel the parsnips and cut them into chunks.

Put 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon of Balsamic vinegar in a plastic bag and add the parsnips. Shake well to coat the chunks in the oil.

Roast at 200 C for about 45 minutes, until the parsnips are soft.

The Balsamic vinegar adds to the sweetness of the parsnip and also gives them a lovely dark golden brown colour. Try serving garnished with a handful of fresh coriander leaves (chopped) for a delicious Christmas lunch treat.

I’m not really much of a parsnip fan, but I really enjoyed this recipe. We made it with carrots, mixed in with the parsnips (saves on washing up and it’s more colourful!).

Enjoy!

    This sounds fab to me but then I am a big parsnip fan! I quite like them roasted in olive oil with a bit of cumin too

    Thanks Sophie - I like the sound of the cumin! Will give it a go next time we get parsnips in our veg box.

    do the veg get roasted in a roasting plastic bag, or tipped onto a baking tray? think they would both work well, but i like the parsnips a bit caramelised in a tray, rather than steamed in the bag.

    Love the sound of the Balsamic Vinegar one, not sure about Cummin with the trad Christmas Lunch but will be trying both of these very soon.
    Thank you both
