Equipment

Ingredients

  • 5 medium parsnips, peeled and chopped in battons
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tablespoon coconut palm sugar or brown sugar
  • 5 garlic cloves still in their skin
  • 1 handful cooked chestnuts
  • A few sprigs of fresh thyme use dry if you don't have fresh
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6.
  • Par-boil the parsnips - place in boiling water for about 5 minutes to allow them to soften a little. Then drain.
  • Put all the ingredients, including the parsnips, in a baking tray and mix thoroughly, making sure the parsnips are fully covered with all the ingredients. 
  • Roast for around 45 minutes, tossing occasionally, or until the edges of the parsnips have browned and they are a bit sticky from the sugar.
