Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan)

Step 2

Place the chopped parsnips in a large roasting tin.

Step 3

Drizzle over the oil and toss together to fully coat.

Step 4

Spread the parsnips our evenly, in a single layer in the roasting tin, ideally so they're not touching each other (this will give the best crunch).

Step 5

Place in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning once, about halfway through cooking, until lightly golden.

Step 6

Sprinkle on the salt and pepper and drizzle over the honey, then toss together and place back in the oven for 8-10 minutes on rich golden brown in colour.

Step 7

Serve immediately, topped with fresh thyme leaves.
