Notes

Top Tip

If your oven is crowded with festive food, put this on the bottom shelf to slow cook, then give it a last blast after you have taken out the other main dishes to caramelise the edges.

Can I just use carrots, or just parsnips in this recipe?

Absolutely, use whatever is your favourite.

How many carrots and parsnips should you allow for per person?

This dish is generally served as part of a larger dinner, with many other dishes. I allow for 2-3 small carrots and half a parsnip per person. Scale up or down as needed.
