500g parsnips
3 tablespoons plain flour
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 tablespoons butter
50g Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Wash and peel the parsnips. If they are very large I recommend that you also cut them in half length ways to reduce the cooking time.
- Bring the parsnips to the boil in a large saucepan with salted water. Cook for 5 minutes.

- Toss the drained parsnips in flour and honey and add to a roasting dish with oil, butter, salt and pepper.
- Roast for 20 minutes and then remove from the oven and add half the Parmesan cheese to the top of the parsnips. Turn over and cover with remaining cheese before returning to the oven to cook for a further 20 minutes
