Ingredients

parsnips 2kg, peeled and halved
vegetable oil 4 tbsp
whisky 150ml (a peaty whisky works best)
maple syrup 150ml
cider vinegar 2 tbsp

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tip the parsnips into a bowl with the oil and lots of seasoning, and toss well. Tip into a large roasting tin and put into the oven for 40 minutes, turning halfway, until lightly caramelised and cooked through.
Step 2

Meanwhile, put the whisky and maple syrup into a small pan and reduce until syrupy, then add the vinegar. Pour all over the parsnips, toss well and put back in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until glazed.
