- 5
Remove the tray from the oven, drizzle the honey-thyme mixture over the parsnips, and toss carefully with tongs to coat.

Serve immediately in warm bowls.
Why this works
The natural sugars in parsnips caramelise beautifully under high heat, providing a perfect base for honey to enhance their nutty sweetness, while the earthiness of the thyme cuts through the sugar to balance the flavour profile.
