These golden, honeyed parsnips have just the right amount of earthiness and sweetness to make a delectable Christmas side dish, and they're easy to make.
500g parsnips, top and tail, cut any bigger ones in half lengthwise, then place in a large pot, fill with salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Drain in a colander and steam-dry for a few minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5.
Toss the parsnips with 1 tbsp flour and 1 tbsp honey to coat.
In a roasting pan, combine the parsnips, 2 tablespoons sunflower oil, 2 tablespoons butter, and spices.
Cook for 40 minutes, rotating halfway through, until golden.
