Ingredients

450 g parsnips
1 tablespoon Olive oil or vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup for vegan option
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or use sage, parsley, or a pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

Prep the parsnips: Wash and scrub well. Peel if the skin looks thick or rough. Trim both ends and cut off very skinny tips so they cook evenly. Slice lengthwise or into chunky sticks.
Season: Toss the parsnips with oil, salt, and pepper until coated.
Air fry: Place in the basket and cook at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
Finish with honey and herbs: After 20 minutes, drizzle with honey and scatter over herbs. Return to the air fryer for another 10 minutes, or until tender inside and caramelized outside.
Serve hot: Pair with your favorite roast dinner or holiday feast.

Notes

Note: Nutritional values are approximate and for guidance only

Make sure your parsnip pieces are similar in size so that they cook evenly.

For a vegan version, substitute the honey for maple syrup.
