Make parsnips really special for the Christmas dinner table. Sliced hasselback style, they're flavoured with orange, red wine vinegar and maple syrup
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Make deep cuts into the length of the parsnips at roughly 1/2cm intervals, without cutting through. Put on a baking tray lined with baking parchment in one layer, drizzle with the oil and season. Roast for 20 mins.
Step 2
Mix the orange juice, vinegar, maple syrup and thyme. Pour over the parsnips and roast for 15 mins more, basting once or twice.
